= IgG4 related disease
= back + ABD pain

104
Q

Idiopathic Retroperitoneal Fibrosis DX and labs

A

= radiologic imaging, bilateral impingement on ureters, hydronephrosis
= soft tissue in retroperitoneum,
= ureter obstruction —-> acute renal failure \
= high C-reactive P, HIGH erythrocyte sedimentation rates

105
Q

Idiopathic Retroperitoneal Fibrosis can happen from what

A

= IgG4 related disease

= radiation therapy from tumors or lymphoma

106
Q

Idiopathic Retroperitoneal Fibrosis histology

A

= dense fibrosis and chronic inflammation (small lymphocytes)
= high IgG4/IgG plasma cell ratio

107
Q

primary tumor of the Peritoneum

A

Mesotheliomas : desmoplastic small round cell tumor localized at some place= can metastasize into peritoneal carcinomatosis

108
Q

location of the pancreas

A

from C-loop of duodenum to the hilum of the spleen

109
Q

2 ducts from pancreas emptying into the duodenum

A
  1. pancreatic duct —-> Major duodenal papilla (sphincter of oddi, connection to the bile duct)
  2. accessory pancreatic duct —–> minor duodenal papilla
110
Q

uncinate process

A

ventral pancreas that rotates during development with bile duct attached to it
= fuses with the dorsal pancreas (tail and body)

111
Q

exocrine vs endocrine pancreas

A
  1. exocrine : 80%, zymogens

2. islets of Langerhans cells clusters, secreting insulin and glucagon

112
Q

congenital anomalie of pancreas most common

A
  1. Pancreas divisum : ventral and dorsal bud dont fuse, so the majority of tail and body of pancreas only drain from the minor papilla
    = can cause chronic pancreatitis
113
Q

annular pancreas

A

= many also have pancreas divisum
= bilobed ventral lobe each going around the foregut endoderm in opposite directions to the dorsal lobe —–> duodenal obstruction can happen

114
Q

ectopic pancreas

A

area not supposed to be in, stomach, duodenum,
= can cause pain if local inflammation
= rare to cause mucosal bleeding

115
Q

most enzymes are packed how in the pancreas

A

into secretory granules as inactive proenzymes = zymogens

116
Q

proenzymes are activated how and by what

A
  1. enteropeptidase (enterokinase) = activates Trypsin in the DUODENUM
  2. Trypsin activates proenzymes
117
Q

acinar and ductal cells of the pancreas secrete what

A

trypsin inhibitors like SPINK1 (Serine proteas inhibitor Kazal type 1

118
Q

severe acute pancreatitis causes what SX and things to happen

A
  1. enzymes and cytokines released into circulation
    = systemic inflammation, leukocytosis, DIC, edema, acute respiratory distress

  2. Grey Turners sign : flank ecchymosis
  3. jaundice, abd distension
121
Q

ecchymosis from pancreatitis happen how

A

from free pancreatic enzymes causing diffusion of fat necrosis and retroperitoneal / intraabdominal bleeding

122
Q

diffusion of fat necrosis and inflammation in Cullens sign happens how

A

from retroperitoneum to umbilicus (Through the round ligament)

123
Q

diffusion of fat necrosis and inflammation in Grey Turners sign happens how

A

  2. Glycosuria (10% of pts)
    Hypocalcemia (if saponification of necrotic fat)
126
Q

trypsin activated in the pancreas can do what

acute pancreatitis tx

A

bowel rest : NPO (IV fluids, analgesia)

most recover

136
Q

40% to 60% acute necrotizing pancreatitis pts get what

A

acellular debri gets infected (gram- from gI) = further complicating disease

137
Q

lungs and acute pancreatitis

A

ARDS

138
Q

most common cause of chronic pancreatitis and what is it

A
  1. long term alcohol use

2. irreversible destruction of exocrine parenchyma, fibrosis + later loss of endocrine parenchyma

139
Q

chronic pancreatitis cytokine involved in fibrosis

A

TGF-B causing fibrosis after injury from inflammation, activated by M,

140
Q

autoimmune pancreatitis type 1 and type 2

A

TYPE 1 : IgG4 plasma cells in pancreas (IgG related disese)

TYPE 2: mass in head on imaging = looks like carcinoma (pts with UC)

141
Q

risks of chronic pancreatitis

A
  1. repeated acute pancreatitis with persistent back / abd pain
  2. calcifications
  3. exocrine insufficiency
  4. DM
142
Q

hereditary pancreatitis with high risk of becoming cancer

A

PRSS-1 mutation (40% chance)

143
Q

most common cysts on pancreas

A

nonneoplastic pseudocysts

144
Q

Congenital cysts in pancreas

A

rare, thin walled cyst from anomaly in pancreatic duct development
= serous fluid filled fibrous capsule

145
Q

congenital cycts can be associated with what 2 conditions

A
  1. Polycystic Kidney Disease

2. von Hippel -Lindau disease

146
Q

nonneoplastic pseudocysts lining and from what and tx

A

no epithelial lining
from acute pancreatitis, esp from chronic alcoholic pancreatitis, trauma
= spontaneously resolve (can compress adjacent structures, or get infected)

147

A

connected to duct system in pancreas,
Men
Head of pancreas
can become cancer

strongest risk of pancreatic cancer + other risks

A

smoking *

  • chronic pancreatitis
  • visceral obesity, high BMI
  • DM
154

PanIN stages

A
  1. telomere shortening, KRAS activated
  2. CDKN2A inactivated
  3. TP53, SMAD4, BRCA2 inactivated
  4. invasive carcinoma
156
Q

Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinomas 4 genes involved

A

KRAS, TP53, CDKN2A, SMAD4 (C/G to T/A or CpG>TpG mutations) = from methylation

157
Q

Pancreas cancers 1st sx and when and most common location

A

pain, when it has invaded into adjacent structures, so beyond cure at that point, head

158

lung and liver

grow along nerves and invade into BVs + retroperitoneum

160

pancreatic cancer type

A

adenocarcinoma with dense desmoplastic reaction

161
Q

Migratory thrombophlebitis

A

Trousseau sign** = 10% pts with pancreatic cancer , tumor associated inflammation and coag factors = high risk of thromboembolism in BVs
