Ectopic pancreas is an unusual finding, with an incidence below 0.5% of all reports worldwide. We report a 26 years old woman who went to emergency room with abdominal pain and underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy. The pathology report described pancreatic ectopic tissue in the wall of the gallbladder. This finding must be thoroughly evaluated because this tissue can suffer diseases like pancreatitis, cystic tumours and malign degeneration, and should be considerated in the context of gallbladder polips with digestive sintomatology.

Objective: Report the clinical case of Gastric Adenomyoma as etiology of pyloric syndrome. Clinical case: We present a 52 years old man who attended the emergency room due pyloric syndrome and who underwent a distal gastrectomy. The pathological report revealed a gastric adenomyoma with ulcerative lesion. Discussion: This pathology is an unusual finding, and the literature describe it with extremely low rate of malignant transformation. Conclusion: Gastric adenomyoma is a infrequent pathology and should be taken into account when endoscopic studies are not enough to determine the etiology of a pyloric syndrome.

Objective: To determine H2 blocker ranitidine misuse in an adult emergency service observation room. Design: Observational crosssectional study. Setting: Emergency Service, Hospital Edgardo Rebagliati Martins, EsSalud, Lima, Peru. Participants: Patients 14 year-old or older. Interventions: Clinical charts of 422 patients admitted to the emergency observation rooms between January and March 2011 were reviewed. Diagnosis was confronted with pertinence of ranitidine use according to clinical guidelines of stress ulcer prophylaxis. Main outcome measures: Inadequate use of ranitidine by the ASHP Report Therapeutic Guidelines on Stress Ulcer. Results: Patients were male in 49.8% (210) and female in 50.2% (212), 62.2 year-old average. Most frequent antecedent was hypertension in 24.9% and cardiovascular as classified by systems in 32.4%. Most frequent admission diagnosis was abdominal pain synd...

Con el objetivo de determinar si existe uso inadecuado del bloqueador H2 ranitidina, en un servicio de emergencia de adultos, se hizo un estudio observacional transversal en el Servicio de Emergencia del Hospital Edgardo Rebagliati Martins de EsSalud, en Lima, Perú. Se revisó las historias clínicas de 422 pacientes ingresados a las salas de observación de emergencia, entre los meses de enero y marzo de 2011. Usando prueba correlacional, los diagnósticos fueron confrontados con la pertinencia del uso de la ranitidina según las guías clínicas, en relación fundamentalmente a la profilaxis de úlcera de estrés. Del total, 49,8% fueron varones y 50,2% mujeres, la edad promedio fue 62,2 años (DS 18,9), los antecedentes más frecuentes fueron hipertensión arterial y, por sistemas, el cardiovascular. El diagnóstico de ingreso más frecuente fue el síndrome doloroso abdominal. La ra...

Actinomycosis is a rare infection caused by Actinomyces spp, a gram-positive germ of saprophytic nature, located in the mouth, genital tract and lower gastrointestinal tract. Its diagnosis is difficult because of its low frequency and variable clinical presentation. We report the case of a 28-year-old female, 34½ weeks pregnant, who presented a pelvic and hypogastric mass accompanied by abdominal pain. One day before admission, the contraction-like pain in the right iliac fossa intensified. The patient underwent a cesarean section and a full-term product was obtained. This surgery was followed by hysterectomy and resection of an abdominal wall tumor as well as en bloc resection of the vesical dome plus appendectomy. The pathology report informed actinomycosis. We focus on the presentation in a pregnant woman with a preterm and live product, as well as the signs and symptoms that help co...
