Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Advances in the diagnosis and treatment of hepatogastrointestinal diseases have been remarkable in the recent years. Imaging in the diagnosis of gastrointestinal diseases, for example, has seen advances such as chromoendoscopy, upper and lower gastrointestinal endoscopy with artificial intelligence (AI) apply, capsule endoscopy, deep enteroscopy, and endoscopic ultrasound. Imaging in the diagnosis of hepatology has also seen significant advances, including color ultrasound with contrast, abdominal multidetector computed tomography, and advanced magnetic resonance imaging.

Surgery continues to play a major role in the treatment of hepatogastrointestinal disease, especially in cases of advanced malignancy. The introduction of multimodal therapy, including target therapy and immuno-oncology (I-O) therapy, has dramatically improved the chance of survival of advanced malignancy.

It is my pleasure to invite authors to submit your contributions to this Special Issue. This Special Issue will focus on the diagnosis and treatment of hepatogastrointestinal diseases.

Invited topics may include:

  • New diagnostic imaging and therapeutic capabilities in hepatic diseases;
  • New diagnostic imaging and therapeutic capabilities in gastroenterology diseases.

The primary splenic lymphoma is extremely uncommon with an incidence rate of <1% of all the lymphomas under the strict criteria for diagnosis expounded by Das Gupta et al. Clinical presentations of nonspecific symptoms are weight loss, weakness, fever, and left upper quadrant pain or discomfort due to enlarged spleen. Abdominal ultrasound and CT are the most widely used imaging modality for the assessment of lymphoma. The imaged features of splenic lymphoma are nonspecific; typical lymphoma presents as a diffusely enlarged spleen. The abdominal CT scan in our case showed a large cystic splenic mass measuring 14 cm without enhancement after contrast medium. Lymphoma is often described as an aggressive tumor because its rapid doubling time can quickly increase the size of a tumor. In our case, the tumor grew to more than 100 times its original size in 4 months. So, we present this unusual rapid growth of primary splenic lymphoma. Full article

Gastric MALToma is an extra-nodal marginal-type B-cell lymphoma. MALToma may occur secondary to chronic inflammation and autoimmunity.

Gastric MALToma is an extra-nodal marginal-type B-cell lymphoma. MALToma may occur secondary to chronic inflammation and autoimmunity. The most common gastrointestinal (GI) site of MALToma is the stomach, with approximately 50% of lesions occurring there. Synchronous upper and lower GI MALTomas rarely occur, with few cases reported. We present the case of a 67-year-old patient who presented asymptomatic and was found to have synchronous multifocal upper and lower GI MALTomas in the stomach, duodenum, terminal ileum, and sigmoid, which did not respond to H. Pylori eradication therapy. Full article

Retained surgical foreign bodies have been a cause of concern since physicians began operating on patients. Retained surgical foreign bodies in the common bile duct (CBD) are rare and may cause cholangitis and jaundice. We report the case of a patient who initially presented with fever and right upper-quadrant abdominal pain. He had received cholecystectomy and choledochojejunostomy 28 years ago and had been well since then. Abdominal computed tomography (CT) revealed left-lobe liver abscess and a linear curve of high-density material. Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) displayed mild dilatation of the common bile duct (CBD) and choledojejunostomic fistula of the middle CBD. A curved, linear, rusty, metallic surgical suture needle was detected and successfully removed under ERCP. Full article
