Pylorus*

A Case of double pylorus, in 56 year old man, was diagnosed by fiberoptic gastroscopy and upper gastrointestinal series. Two ovoid large openings of pyloric canal divided by smooth thickened septum were observed endoscopically And the relevant literatures on tihe subject were reviewed.

It has been thought for many years that gastric adenocarcinoma almost never crosses the pylorus. Rokitanski in 1861 made the classic statement that the pyloric served as a barrier to duodenal dissemination of gastric cancer. Although this theory was generally accepted, but direct spread of gastric carcinoma into the duodenum has been reported, most recently in 1965. We report two recent cases of gastric cancer spreading into the duodenum and review the literature.

A 63 year-old man was admatted to our hospital because of dulI epigastralgia. Upper G-I series reveaied the generalized thickened, tortuous mucosal folds in the stomach and duodenal bulb, Two ovold large pits on the antrum were observed endoscopically, Tha relevant literatures on the subject were reviewed.

It has been thought for many years that gastric adenocarcinoma almost never crosses the pylorus. Although this theory was generally accepted, several studies have refuted it. We report three cases of gastric adenocarcinoma direct spreading into the duodenum that was diagnosed by endoscopic duodenal biopsy and review the literature.

Regarding the removal of a gastric bezoar, laparoscopic surgery was performed and it was shown that the laparoscopic approach is safe and feasible. However, the laparoscopic method has the risk of intraabdominal contamination, when the gastric bezoar is retrieved from the gastric lumen in the peritoneal cavity. We developed and applied a new procedure for the removal of the gastric bezoar using one surgical glove and two wound retractors as a fashion of intragastric single port surgery. Herein we present this new minimal invasive procedure, so named "hybrid access surgery" which involves the use of existing devices and overcomes the weakness of laparoscopic removal of the gastric bezoar. Our new procedure, combining the concept of intragastric and single port access, is acceptable and feasible to retrieve the gastric bezoar. In the future, this procedure may be one of the alternative procedures for retrieving gastric bezoar even when it is incarcerated in the pylorus.

So-called, the double channel pylorus has been, relatively rarely, reported through out the world. All reported cases were almostly those of gastroduodenal fistula as a complication of peptic ulcer disease. The congenital forms of double pylorus were reported even more rarely. We found three cases of double channel pylorus in 25,000 cases endoscopy done at our unit. All those three cases were thought to be acqired form endoscopically, radiographically and histologically. One of those was undergone to operative resection because of uncontrollable bleeding and the others were on medical theraphy with satisfaction.

Invasive gastric Candida infection in patient with co-morbidity can cause stenotic change if it is developed at anatomically narrowing portion, such as distal antrum, pylorus, or duodenal bulb. However, proper management of benign stenosis by diffuse gastric Candidasis is still under controversy and palliative bypass surgery has several shortcomings because high risk operative group may be included in this case. Palliative placement of self-expandable metallic stent has been settled as a standard management of malignant gastric pyloric obstruction and it is expected to be applied in benign stenotic lesions due to its gradual dilation effect. We described a case of stenosis by diffuse gastric Candidasis at anastomosis of subtotal gastrectomy, which was managed by temporary placement of self-expandable metallic stent.

In view of rarity and its unsolved histogenesis, a case of adenoacanthoma at the pyloric antrum of the stomach is reported. The patient was a 43 years old Korean male teacher who had onset of symptoms referable to present illness three months prior to the admission, although he had ulcer symptoms 7 years previously and subsequently free from the symptoms during last 4 years following 3 years, anti-ulcer regimen. Histopathologic studies of the stomach revealed a large ulcerated lesion at the pyloric antrum, and it was predominantly a well differentiated squamous cell carcinoma occupying the central and superficial part and surrounded by a narrow rim of adenocarcinoma at the periphery. Multiple regional nodes examinations disclosed metastases of only adenocarcinoma in 5 nodes and no metastasis of squamous element was found. A brief review of the literature and a discussion concerning clinical, histopathologic and especially histogenetic aspects is made. It was interesting to note that all squamous cell nests are surrounded by multi-layers of small indifferent basal type of cells, and it was thought that this might possibly be a supportive evidence of direct stimulation to basal cells to differentiate into squamous element.
