Uncommon Tumour

Neuroendocrine tumours (NET) are rare. They usually arise from the gastrointestinal or bronchopulmonary systems. Most are discovered incidentally and the small bowel tumours pose special difficulty in detection and treatment. Primary mesenteric involvement is very rare. Here we report such a case with a liver metastasis. This was preoperatively diagnosed and treated by enucleation of the mesenteric tumour together with right hepatectomy in a single sitting.

Common Presentation

Intestinal obstruction is a common presentation in surgical wards. Faecolith causing intestinal obstruction are of rare occurrence that too in small bowel. We are herewith presenting a case of intestinal obstruction in small bowel due to Faecolith. It was treated by exploratory laprotomy and removal of Faecolith by enterostomy. This case is presented because of its rarity and emphasis on good history taking and pre-operative workup.

Extended Right Hepatectomy

Very large right-sided liver tumors may grow up to the base of the umbilical fissure and involve the left hepatic duct and can occasionally reach the bile duct confluence. This kind of involvement has often been considered a contraindication to resection. We report a patient who presented with a large hepatic metastasis from colorectal cancer that reached the umbilical fissure and involved the left hepatic duct just above the bile duct confluence. An extended right hepatectomy including complete resection of caudate lobe was performed. We resected the left and common hepatic ducts, as well as both the entire hepatic and the proximal third of common bile duct. A long jejunal limb Roux-en-Y (45 cm) single-layer left intrahepatic hepaticojejunostomy was constructed. She is still well 14 months postoperatively. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of such a procedure employed for the treatment of a liver metastasis from colorectal cancer. Extended right hepatectomy including complete caudate lobe resection can be feasible even when the majority of the extrahepatic biliary system needs to be resected. Our approach probably offers the only chance to prevent early death from liver failure in these patients.
