26
Carcinoid cancer arise from...?
enterochromaffin-like cells (AKA Kulchitsky cells)

reduces speed of small bowel transit -> aids in reabsorption of water, electrolytes, and nutrients

duodenum
30

fibrosis in mesentery
34
Tx for carcinoid crisis
octreotide
35
Sxs of carcinoid crisis
- facial flushing - diarrhea - tachycardia - arrhythmias - hypotension - mental status change due to release of serotonin
36
Suspect SMA syndrome when...
young person s/p rapid weight loss, presenting abd pain, N/V
37
Dx imaging characteristics for SMA syndrome
aortomesenteric angle <25 degrees (nl 38-65)
38
Mgmt SMA syndrome
medical. if fail, then dudoenojejunostomy.
39
For any obstructing NET (ie. carcinoid), should always have what kind of procedure in addition to tumor excision?
cholecystectomy bc high likelihood to use octreotide -> biliary stasis and cholecystitis
40
What is the Spigelman scoring system?
stage 0-4 for staging of duodenal polyps in pts wtih FPA (based on # polyps, polyp size, histological type, and severity of dysplasia)
41
Mgmt for Spigelman score 0-IV
0-1: q5yr EGD 2: q3yr 3: q1-2yr 4: Whipple (pancreas-sparing duodenectomy not effective)
42
Tx small bowel adenoCA
surgical resection of primary tumor + regional LN is only curative option. chemorad only for unresectable disease.
43
Operative Tx obstructing neuroendocrine tumor of small bowel (ie. carcinoid)
en-block resection with involved mesentery - bc 40-80% spread to mesenteric LN
44
Mgmt B-cell lymphoma (non-MALT) vs. T-cell lymphoma
B: if asymp, then chemoradiation (resect if symp) T: always resection (chemoresistant and likely to progress to obstruction -> perf/bleed)
45
Breakdown of Spigelman score
Stage 1 = 1-4 Stage 2 = 5-6 Stage 3 = 7-8 Stage 4 = 9-12 ``` Number of points 1 // 2 // 3 # polyps 1-4 // 5-20 // >20 mm size 1-4 // 5-10 // >10 histology tubulous // tubulovillous // villous dysplasia mild // moderate // severe ```
46
MC congenital abnormality of the GI tract
Meckel diverticulum
47
MC symptom of Meckel diverticulum if symptomatic
majority asymptomatic - children: painless GI bleeding - adult: obstruction (#1), diverticulitis (#2)
48
Imaging CT: tubular distended cystic mass w/ wall calcification in RLQ adjacent to cecum
appendiceal mucocele
49
Why do appendiceal mucoceles need to be resected?
may harbor a cystadenocarcinoma
50
When do right hemicolectomy for appendiceal mucocele? (3)
- suspicion of nodal spread - involvement of terminal ileum or cecum - positive margins
51

Crohn's
52
Can present as small bowel perf... what kind of mass?
small bowel lymphoma
53
Mgmt MALT in small bowel vs. stomach

54
Second MC site of diverticula formation in intestinal tract
duodenum
55
Duodenal diverticula are classified as either... or...? Difference in layers involved?
congenital (true - all layer involved) or acquired (pulsion - mucosa, submucosa, and muscularis mucosa through weakness in duodenal wall)
56
MC location duodenal diverticula in second portion
ampulla of Vatar (weakness in duodenal wall)
57

60
Mgmt pancreatitis 2/2 duodenal diverticula
Open diverticulectomy and primary primary closure, after resolution of pancreatitis
61
Breakdown of how much fluid each GI section makes in one day (saliva, stomach, small bowel, biliary, pancreatic)
``` Saliva = 1.5 L Stomach = 1-2 L Small bowel = 1.5 L Biliary = 500cc Pancreatic = 1.5-3 L (But most are absorbed back by small [8.5 L] and large [400cc] bowels) ```
62
Mgmt Crohn's strictures at duodenum
gastrojejunostomy
63
MC malignant tumor of appendix
adenocarcinoma (MC overall tumor of appendix is carcinoid)
64
When should operative intervention be considered for EC fistula?
if persist after 6-weeks from formation
65
Metabolic derangement for pts with proximal EC fistula
acidosis (bc proximal fistula tend to be high in bicarb)
66
Obturator sign of acute appendicitis indicates...
(pain with internal rotation of thigh) pelvic appendix
67
Iliopsoas sign of acute appendicitis indicates...
(pain extension of thigh) retrocecal appendix
68
Pelvic appendicitis tends to have what hx and exam findings?
urinary symptoms and diarrhea (bladder and rectal irritation) + Obturator sign
69
Where in small bowel does protein absorption mostly occur?
jejunum
70
Cx early appendectomy for perforated appendicitis
increase risk bowel obstruction, wound infection, reoperation
71
Interval appendectomy should occur when?
6-8 weeks after insult
72
What Rx has shown results that it may aid in closure of fistulas in Crohn's?
infliximab
73
What layer of intestinal wall is most important for strength in hand-sewn anastomosis?
submucosa - highest content of collagen fibers (tensile strength determined by collagen cross linking)
74
Appendicitis is MC in what trimester?
2nd
75
MC epithelial tumor of appendix
pseudomyxoma peritonei
76
MC presenting sxs of pseudomyxoma perionei (#1, #2)
