Endometriosis, a prevalent but debilitating condition affecting women, poses significant challenges in diagnosis and management. The current 2024 guideline, developed by the Korean Society of Endometriosis (KSE), builds upon the 2018 KSE guideline. This guideline aims to provide customized recommendations tailored to Korea’s unique clinical aspects and medical environment, and addresses key areas such as diagnosis, medical and surgical management, considerations for special populations, and its complex relationship with cancer.

Anticancer treatment for acute lymphocytic leukemia is based on drugs such as methotrexate, 6-mercaptopurine, vincristine, and asparaginase. Asparaginase-related pancreatitis is known to have an incidence of up to 18%, and is a major cause of discontinuation of anticancer treatment for leukemia due to acute onset and chronic complications. There were various cases of treatment of peripancreatic fluid retention caused by anticancer drugs in leukemia patients. Use of lumen-apposing metal stents (LAMS) for walled-off necrosis (WON) drainage has recently increased. The electrocautery-enhanced delivery system allowed simpler and faster stent placement, streamlining the overall procedure and potentially reducing procedure time. Therefore, favorable outcomes have been reported with the use of LAMS for endoscopic drainage of various conditions. In this paper, we discuss a case in which hot-system LAMS was performed to treat L-asparaginase-induced acute pancreatitis and pancreatic pseudocyst in an adult patient with acute lymphoblastic leukemia.
