Was to one more case and then we can call it a day.
0:03
Right lower quadrant pain 55 year old paint.
0:06
So right lower quadrant paint, let's go post contrast
0:09
image.
0:27
I know the group likes reformats, I like reformats as
0:30
well in this case.
0:41
Alright, a lot of people people really like this one, okay.
0:46
Good. Good. Good. Good. Good good so good
0:49
so good. So we all right. All right. All right, you guys you guys
0:52
are too much. Okay. Everyone's all over the car. All
0:55
right. This is a car snowing. Okay,
0:58
The Coop knows there of course. No, it's that's awesome. So I
1:01
want to show this case for a few reasons. I like
1:04
I like car snow tumors. It's nice because you can think of a differential as well.
1:07
And so you see a mesenteric mass here. We see some califications. I
1:10
really like the oh, maybe
1:13
I don't oh, yeah, there's a little bit of speculation. So almost
1:16
feels like some vessels or tether to this location see another
1:19
small note over there. And the reason I want to show this case.
1:24
Well, I actually got the green light that I can go a little bit longer. So maybe
1:27
I'll show the last case it won't be that much longer after this case. So we'll do that
1:30
and whoever needs to jump off can jump off. But the reason I like
1:33
this case is you know, listen to group has seen it seems that the
1:36
group knows their cars noids and that's fine. We'll talk a little bit about that. But one
1:39
thing that I urge the group to do is when you see your car's
1:42
noise and you've sort of quote unquote Master to diagnosing
1:45
a carcinoid
1:48
Way, I kind of you know the next step which can we find the primary?
1:52
Right. That's what I always look for. Let's look
1:55
for the primary because I don't know and I have a luxury
1:58
of time and an academic practice to do that. I understand that but
2:02
I think that's sometimes make these case interesting and so
2:05
can we find the primary? I think somebody said it they saw the
2:08
primary.
2:09
and and it's gonna be tough for me to
2:12
to sort of show it to you to have
2:15
people chime in where it is, but they called them the ilium that be a
2:18
great guess if you guessed it, but if you actually saw it
2:21
good on you.
2:23
Right over there.
2:25
It's right over there. Let me window it for you.
2:28
Alright, there's a mass over there. There's some calcifications of
2:31
that mask that's gonna be the primary and one of the things that our
2:34
surgeons have told us is that oftentimes you can see right over there
2:37
is that you'll be almost there may
2:40
be more than one primers. You'll see one lesion you may there
2:43
may be others right adjacent to it. And so have a look in
2:46
the bowel loops and just see if you can window it to a point where you can actually
2:49
see the primary in this case. We can see it right over
2:52
there.
2:53
And so let's just go through this PowerPoint to
2:56
just review some teaching points. It's a neuroendocrine
2:59
tumor it often arises in the GI tract other
3:02
sites are less common.
3:04
Almost, you know, we think about a traditionally in the ilium,
3:07
but it can occur in other places in the bowel. We all know about carcinoid syndrome.
3:10
It's when you have the meths to the liver with a
3:13
spectrum of findings right due to the serotonin release and
3:16
you're looking primarily for the mesenteric mass
3:19
remembering that the mesenteric mass is the nodal metastasis. It's
3:22
not the primary tumor itself. It's the noble metastasis
3:25
from a lesion in the
3:28
bowels to look at the loops and bowels. See if you can see a similar appearing mask somewhere
3:31
there 70% of some pumpkin countifications often
3:34
speculated margins and they will tether
3:37
adjacent Loops of bowel right and vessels and
3:40
they are quite often hypervascular. And
3:43
so particularly you're looking for liver mats. It's important to do
3:46
these studies correctly when we do in arterial phase through the liver. Otherwise, you
3:49
may miss these liver metastases.
