ASGE Endoscopy Live: Pancreatobiliary Cases and Updates (On-Demand)

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, Dr. Ginsberg and his team discuss a complex medical case involving an 81-year-old patient with a pericardial lymphoma and non-functional independent diabetes. The patient presented with weight loss, dyspolar stool, fever, and liver enzyme abnormalities. Diagnostic tests, including CAT scans, MRIs, and ERCP, revealed biliary and pancreatic obstructions, as well as a soft tissue mass in the left iliac wing. Cytopathology results were inconclusive, but a CT PET scan confirmed a pancreatic neoplasm and increased size of the iliac soft tissue mass. The team discusses the need for another biopsy, the possibility of different treatment options, and the challenges of accessing the duodenum. Dr. Ginsberg concludes by demonstrating an EUS that reveals a small tumor and the dilated pancreatic duct. The video showcases the complex nature of diagnosing and treating patients with various medical conditions. No credits were given in the video.
