Kasabach-Merritt syndrome arising from an Enteroatmospheric Fistula [PDF]

arXiv, 2022
Kasabach-Merritt syndrome (KMS) is a rare, life-threatening condition that is characterized by profound thrombocytopenia, hypofibrinogenemia, elevated partial thromboplastin time, and may also be associated with microangiopathic hemolytic anemia. It is well established that this phenomenon is notably associated with the vascular tumors kaposiform ...

Formation of Pancreatoduodenal Fistula in Intraductal Papillary Mucinous Neoplasm of the Pancreas Decreased the Frequency of Recurrent Pancreatitis [PDF]

, 2019
Intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms (IPMN) of the pancreas are characterized by proliferation of mucin-secreting cells in the main pancreatic duct (PD) or its branches. The secreted thick mucin usually leads to PD obstruction and dilation.
