Lymphoepithelial cyst of the pancreas: case report with special reference to imaging—pathologic correlation

We present the case of a 63 year-old male who presented with a cystic lesion of the distal pancreas. Excision and histology showed this to be a lymphoepithelial cyst. Cystic lesions of the pancreas represent a diagnostic challenge, especially when pseudocyst secondary to pancreatitis is excluded. These lesions can be broadly classified into benign, pre-malignant and malignant. Widely used imaging modalities such as CT and MRI are not able to categorically differentiate between these. More invasive procedures such as endoscopic US and FNA again do not give a cast-iron diagnosis. Our patient had a symptomatic cystic lesion in his pancreas which was excised after cross-specialty discussion. We advocate that this is the ideal way to treat patients with cystic lesions of the pancreas, with each case considered on its own merits as all current diagnostic investigations have their limitations.

Laryngeal Airway

Although laryngeal stenosis caused by cicatricial pemphigoid (CP) is a well documented entity, reports about its surgical treatment are scant. This may be due to the reluctance of the surgeons to excise the scarring, knowing the recurrent nature of the disease. In this paper we report a case of severe laryngeal stenosis caused by CP which necessitated a tracheostomy. When the disease had stabilized, laryngeal airway was restored following open surgical excision and stenting. The historic, clinical, histologic, immunopathologic and therapeutic features of CP are presented with special reference to the laryngeal lesions.
