    <jats:title>Abstract</jats:title> <jats:p> <jats:bold>Introduction</jats:bold>: Pancreatic cancer is malignancy with poor prognosis for quality of life and overall survival. The incidence is variant, 7.7/100,000 in Europe, 7.6/100,000 in the USA, 2.2/100.000 in Africa. The only real benefit for cure is surgery, duodenopancreatectomy. The key points for this procedure are radicality, low morbidity and low mortality, the follow up and the expected overall survival. The benchmark of the procedure is the pancreaticojejunoanastomosis, with its main pitfall, postoperative pancreatic fistula B or C. Subsequently, the manner of creation of pancreaticojejunoanastomosis defines the safety, thus the postoperative morbidity and mortality. Finally, this issue remarkably depends on the surgeon and the surgical technique creating the anastomosis. We used 2 techniques with interrupted sutures, dunking anastomosis and duct-to-mucosa double layer technique. The objective of the study was to compare these 2 suturing techniques we applied, and the aim was to reveal the risk benefit rationale for dunking either duct to mucosa anastomosis.</jats:p> <jats:p> <jats:bold>Material and method:</jats:bold> In our last series of 25 patients suffering pancreatic head carcinoma we performed a standard dodenopancreatectomy. After the preoperative diagnosis and staging with US, CICT, tumor markers, they underwent surgery. Invagination-dunking anastomosis was performed in 15, whereas, duct-to-mucosa, double layer anastomosis was performed in 10. In the first group with dunking anastomosis, we had 6 patients with soft pancreas and 8 with narrow main pancreatic duct, less than 3 mm. In the duct-to-mucosa group there were 5 patients with soft pancreas and 4 with narrow main pancreatic duct. All other stages of surgery were unified, so the only difference in the procedure remained on the pancreatojejunoanastomosis. The onset of the postoperative pancreatic fistula was estimated with revelation of 3 fold serum level of alfa amylases from the third postoperative day in the drain liquid.</jats:p> <jats:p> <jats:bold>Results</jats:bold>: In the duct to mucosa group there wasn’t a clinically relevant postoperative pancreatic fistula, while in the dunking anastomosis group we had 4 postoperative pancreatic fistula B, 26 %. One of these 4 patients experienced intraabdominal collection – abscess, conservatively managed with lavation through the drain. Comparing the groups, there was no significant difference between the groups concerning the appearance of postoperative pancreatic fistula: p>0.05, p=0.125. From all 25 patients, in 21 patients biliary stent was installed preoperatively to resolve the preoperative jaundice. All 21 suffered preoperative and postoperative reflux cholangitis, extending the intra-hospital stay.</jats:p> <jats:p> <jats:bold>Conclusion</jats:bold>: So far, there have been many trials referring to opposite results while comparing these 2 techniques in creation of the pancreticojejunoanastomosis. In our study, the duct to mucosa anastomosis prevailed as a technique, proving its risk benefit rationale. However, further large randomized clinical studies have to be conducted to clarify which of these procedures would be the prime objective in the choice of the surgeon while creating pancreatojejunoanastomosis.</jats:p>

    Metastasis of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) to the pancreas is a rare entity accounting only 0.25-3% of all pancreatic tumors. We present a rare case of isolated three focal pancreatic metastases from RCC, occurring 15 years after the left nephrectomy. The majority of the pancreatic metastases are asymptomatic, as it was in case of our patient excluding the weight loss for the last three months. We demonstrate the importance of the medical history, radiological examinations, histological and immunohistochemical analysis in making a definitive diagnosis.

    Extrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (EH-CCa) is a malignant tumor that arises from the ductal epithelium of the extrahepatic bile duct and it has been divided into perihilar and distal at the level of the cystic duct . As relatively rare disease perihilar and distal extrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma should be viewed as independent entities because of their distinct biology and management. The aim of the study was to make morphologic analysis of archive material of diagnosed EH-CCa at the Institute of pathology, Medical Faculty, Skopje in 5-year period and revision of the cases according to 7th edition (AJCC/UICC) TNM staging classification. We used archive material from the data base of the Institute of pathology, Medical Faculty, Skopje, for 7 cases diagnosed as distal EH-CCA between year 2006 and year 2010. Four analyzed adenocarcinomas showed periductal-infiltrating pattern of growth and 3 cases had massforming characteristics. One case revealed pancreatic involvement, 5 infiltrated the periductal soft tissue and 1 was confined to the ductal wall. In 3 cases peri/intraneural invasion was found and 2 cases had vascular tumor embolusses. There were 2 lymph nodes with metastases from 10 examined in only one case, in two cases there was no surgical resection of lymph nodes, and the rest cases were free from metastatic disease. Positive surgical margines we found in 2 cases and 2 were negative. The most of EH-CCA were diagnosed in stage IB, one was in stage IA and one in stage IIB. The purpose of 7th edition AJCC/UICC TNM staging system is predominantly prognostic and will require additional validation.

    Gastrointestinal stromal tumour (GIST) is very rare in pregnancy and only a few cases have been described in the literature. We present a case of a 38-year-old primigravida, presented with non-specific symptoms for the first time in the second trimester. Due to the non-specificity of the symptoms on one hand and the rarity of the tumour on the other, it took a long time for the final diagnosis to be made. Accidentally, on a routine obstetric ultrasound examination, a solid tumour formation was observed, localized under the lower pole of the left kidney. On MRI of the abdomen, in front of the left kidney there was a tubular structure, in close relation with small intestine, suspected for intussusception. At 28 weeks of gestation, an exploratory laparotomy was performed with resection of the involved part of the jejunum and TT anastomosis. Pregnancy was terminated electively, by caesarean section, in 38+6 gestational weeks. The clinical presentation of the GIST depends on the primary location of the tumour. Due to the extremely rare occurrence of these tumours in pregnancy, there is no solid scientific evidence for the most appropriate time of their treatment and the time of termination of pregnancy. The biggest challenge in pregnancy is timely diagnosis and treatment, without impact on the foetus. A multidisciplinary approach is needed. In our case, the severity of the mother’s symptoms outweighed the danger to the foetus from general anaesthesia and surgery itself.

    Целта на трудот беше да го утврди влијанието на раната перорална исхрана врз постоперативното воспоставување на цревната функција и пероперативниот морбидитет кај пациентите оперирани од колоректален карцином. Материјал и методи: Во проспективната рандомизирана студија беа вклуче-ни 100 пациенти со колоректален карцином со стандардна предоперативна и оперативна процедура. Пациентите беа поделени на 2 групи: испитувана и контролна и секоја група вклучуваше по 50 паци-енти. Пациентите од испитуваната група започнаа со внес на течности во текот на првите 24 часа по-стоперативно и продолжија со регуларна диета во следните 24-48 часа во зависност од толерантноста кон истата. Пациентите од контролната група започнаа со внес на течности и храна по повлекување на постоперативниот илеус. Се следеше времето до воспоставување на цревната функција, должината на постоперативниот болнички престој, бројот и видот на пероперативните компликации и евенту-алните реадмисии во болница во првите 30 дена постоперативно. Резултати: Меѓу испитуваната и контролната група пациенти немаше значајна разлика во однос на демографските податоци, лока-лизацијата на туморот и типот на операција (p>0,05). Бројот на денови до воспоставување на перис-талтика беше 1,18±0,39 наспроти 2,14±0,53, добивање на гасови 1,90±0,65 наспроти 3,34±1,06 и столица 3,24±1,33 наспроти 5,28±1,83. Овие резултати се сигификантно пониски кај испитуваната група во од-нос на контролната група (p<0,001). Не постоеше разлика во анализата на поединечните компликации, меѓутоа вкупниот број на постоперативни компликации беше сигнификантно помал во испитуваната група: 3 наспроти 10 (p=0,04). Болничкиот престој во испитуваната 7,48±2,47 дена наспроти 9,88±3,66 дена во контролната група беше исто така сигнификантно пократок [Z= -6,16 и p<0,001(p=0,000)]. За-клучок: Раната перорална исхрана кај пациентите оперирани од колоректален карцином го забрзува воспоставувањето на цревната функција со истовремено значајно намалување на пероперативниот морбидитет и болничкиот престој.

    The understanding of the etiopathogenesis of gastric carcinoma (GC) can be a base for development of new therapeutic methods to reduce mortality and to increase survival in patients with GC. The percentage of Epstein - Barr virus (EBV) positive gastric carcinomas is uncertain, and the etiologic importance of EBV in the pathogenesis of GC has still not been elucidated.

    Introduction: Despite the decline in incidence and mortality rate in recent years, gastric carcinoma (GC) remains one of the leading causes of cancer-related deaths worldwide, especially in developing countries. The aim of this study was to present the clinical and pathological characteristics of gastric carcinomas in patients from R. North Macedonia. Material and methods: One hundred and forty-nine patients with gastric carcinoma were included in the study. Sixty-one patients underwent subtotal gastric resection with lymphadenectomy, and 88 patients underwent total gastrectomy with lymphadenectomy. Tumor localization, TNM classification, grade and stage were determined for each patient. The parameters of the TNM classification (AJCC Cancer Staging 2017) were obtained from the archived histopathological reports of the Institute of Pathology in Skopje, and for the clinical stage patients’ files from the University Clinic for Abdominal Surgery in Skopje were used. Results:The most common intragastric location of gastric carcinomas was cardia in 61 (40.94%) patients, followed by antral/pyloric carcinoma location in 51 (34.23%) patients and corpus location in 37 (24.83%) patients. According to the T status (local tumor growth), more than half of the examined patients 84 (56.38%) were in T4 status of the disease. Presence of positive regional lymph nodes was detected in 113 (75.84) patients, and negative in 36 (24.16%) patients. The majority of patients that comprised the analyzed group - 81 (54.36%) had a poor differentiated gastric carcinoma, and 88 (59.06%) were in Stage III of the disease.

    Introduction: The understanding of the etiopathogenesis and the molecular basis of gastric carcinoma will facilitate the development of novel molecular target therapies, which interfere with different signal cascades involved in cellular proliferation, differentiation and survival. The aim of this paper was to determine the correlation between HER2 and EBV expression in patients with gastric carcinomas. Material and methods: Eighty patients with gastric carcinoma surgically treated were included in the study. Data of HER2 protein expression were obtained from the archived histopathological reports of the Institute of Pathology in Skopje. For detection of EBV, immunostainings were performed on tumor tissue and the peripheral nontumor gastric mucosa. Results: The results of this study confirmed a significant association between HER2 and EBV expression (p=0.041). The value of the Spearman correlation coefficient (R = - 0.258) indicated a negative, indirect connection of HER2 and EBV expression, which was confirmed as statistically significant (p = 0.02). The HER2 expression in gastric carcinomas was significantly associated with EBV expression, and the expression of HER2 was significantly more common in EBV negative cancers.
