Serous cystic neoplasm (SCN) of the pancreas is considered a benign tumor with almost no malignant potential. Most surgeons agree that asymptomatic SCN requires only regular observation. However, several complexities and interference with organ preservation during the operation, may develop when a huge symptomatic tumor is treated with surgery. So, the purpose of this study is to develop a potential management plan based on a literature review and by describing three recent cases of SCN of the pancreas. We suggest that SCNs be responded to with a timely and appropriate surgical intervention - before they require clinical attention.

Anatomical plane and fascia have been described in medical behaviors for hundreds of years since the appearance of anatomy and operation. Generally, these descriptions can be sorted into three theories, i.e. plane surgery, fascia theory and mesentery anatomy. However, these theories are difficult to satisfy the scientific paradigm that includes consistency in description, independence in validation, potential to solve practical problems, and the interaction of the above-mentioned theries. Recently, membrane anatomy was proposed as the anatomy of mesentery and its beds in broad sense. Behind it lies fascia membrane/serous membrane structure, as well as inherent life events and general order. Mesentery in broad sense is described as the fascia membrane/serous membrane in serous cavity, which envelops and suspends the organ/tissue and its feeding structures to the posterior wall of the body. Anatomy is the setting/structure, in which life events/functions occur. In the research and discussion of membrane anatomy, abiding by the scientific paradigm and upholding the scientific spirit are the only way to obtain reliable knowledge and the criterion for in-depth scientific research.

In this study, we evaluated the effect of the argon indirect laser photocoagulation for patients with central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC), whose leaking points were indentified near the fovea or inside the papillomacular bundle. Among the 99 eyes of CSC, 62 eyes were assigned to group one, in which leaking points were located outside the papillomacular bundle or at more than 500 microdistance from fovea, and 37 eyes were assigned to group two, in which leaking points were located inside of papillomacular bundle or within 500 microdistance from fovea. Among the eyes in group one, 22 eyes had undergone direct laser photocoagulation treatment; among the eyes in group two, 27 eyes undergone indirect laser photocoagulation treatment; the rest 50 eyes were untreated. With theses results, We concluded that indirect laser treatment may not be in shortening the duration of central serous chorioretinopathy or in improving the vision. Its reccurence rate was higher than the rest of the modalities.

Central serous chorioretinopathy (CSCR) is an idiopathic disorder characterized by serous detachment of the macula and retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) detachment. Its etiology and pathophysiology are still unknown. However, CSCR can arise secondary to chronic treatment with steroids. We present two cases in which CSCR developed in patients on oral steroid therapy and resolved after treatment was stopped. We also offer a review of the literature.

Rapid advancements, access to and use of imaging techniques have increased the frequency of identification of pancreatic cystic neoplasms in clinical practice. However, a diagnostic dilemma among pancreatic cystic neoplasms remains. Solid variant serous cystadenoma is extremely rare and difficult to accurately diagnose preoperatively, as they are commonly mistaken for malignant solid tumors of other types. Here, we present a case of a solid variant serous cystadenoma preoperatively misdiagnosed as a neuroendocrine tumor of the pancreas with a review of the relevant literature.

Idiopathic central serous chorioretinopathy is localized detachment of the neurosensory retina in the macula which is commonly seen. However extensive sensory retinal detachment of the posterior role and multiple leaking points are rare characteristics of idiopathic central serous chorioretinopathy. Idiopathic central serous chorioretinopathy with bullous retinal detachment is frequently misdiagnosed and treated improperly. The authors experienced a case of atypical type of idiopathic central serous chorioretinopathy that has bullous retinal detachment and multiple Ieaking points in the both eyes.

Although parovarian cysts constitute 10-20% of all adnexal masses, malignant parovarian tumors are extremely rare. Due to the rarity of this lesion, there are controversies concerning the origin, clinical behavior, and prognosis of these tumors. Currently, it is suggested that these paovarian tumors should be treated similarly to their ovarian counterparts. We experienced one case of parovarian serous cystadenocarcinoma of borderline malignancy, and report this with a brief review of the literatures.
