Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the incidence, risk factors, and clinical course of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) following pancreaticoduodenectomy, focusing on the role of adjuvant chemotherapy and other metabolic changes. Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on 189 patients who underwent pancreaticoduodenectomy between 2013 and 2016. NAFLD was diagnosed using computed tomography (CT) imaging, defined as a liver-tospleen attenuation ratio <0.9. Sarcopenia and sarcopenic obesity were assessed using preoperative CT scans. Logistic regression analysis was performed to identify risk factors for NAFLD development. Results: The cumulative incidence of NAFLD increased over time, with rates of 15.9% at one year, 20.4% at three years, and 35.2% at five years post-pancreaticoduodenectomy. Adjuvant chemotherapy was identified as the only significant independent predictor of NAFLD development (odds ratio, 2.74; 95% confidence interval, 1.16-6.70; P=0.023). No significant associations were found between NAFLD and pancreatic enzyme replacement therapy (PERT), sarcopenia, or sarcopenic obesity. Serial analysis of NAFLD status in long-term survivors revealed dynamic changes, with some patients experiencing spontaneous remission or recurrence. Conclusion NAFLD is a common, progressive complication following pancreaticoduodenectomy, particularly in patients receiving adjuvant chemotherapy. Although no significant associations with PERT or sarcopenia were observed, these areas warrant further investigation. Long-term monitoring and targeted management strategies are recommended to address NAFLD in this population. Future prospective studies are needed to elucidate the natural history and contributing factors of NAFLD after pancreaticoduodenectomy.

Background: The forehead is a region connected to the scalp and is accompanied by various structures. In some tumors, the pattern of development may differ from that of other anatomical sites. When a noninflammatory skin-colored tumor develops on the forehead, it is difficult to diagnose accurately. Objective: This study aimed to identify the epidemiologic data and clinical features of noninflammatory skin-colored tumors of the forehead. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of 200 patients with noninflammatory, skin-colored tumors diagnosed after skin biopsy over a period of 11 years. We evaluated tumor prevalence, clinical features, and differences according to sex and age. If the tumor was large and deeply located, a radiologic study was performed. Results: Of the 12 different histopathologic results, lipoma (52.0%) was the most frequent, followed by epidermal cyst (17.0%), osteoma (13.5%), steatocystoma (6.0%), and pilomatricoma (3.5%). Statistical analysis showed that females were dominant in the osteoma group. For an accurate diagnosis, 25 of the 52 patients who underwent computed tomography were diagnosed with lipoma, and 19 (76.0%) of them were identified as deep-seated lipoma. Conclusion The most common tumor among noninflammatory, skin-colored tumors of the forehead was lipoma.When they occur on the forehead, the proportion of deep-seated lipomas is higher than that at other sites. In the case of a solid and fixed tumor, a deep-seated lipoma should be considered. Computed tomography should be performed in addition to ultrasonography because the sensitivity of ultrasonography for the diagnosis of deep-seated lipoma is unsatisfactory.
