Then there's a case I haven't seen since an early episode of House: What's causing jaundice, fevers, weight loss, and sclerosing cholangitis? In this case, Erdheim-Chester disease, diagnosed only by biliary biopsy showing CD68+ histiocytes.

Lastly, a rare case of hyperamylasemia. DDx = pancreatitis, parotitis, intestinal obstruction or perforation. And in rare cases, amylase-producing malignancies (like multiple myloma) Look for concurrent anemia or other suggestive features

Second, a commentary on CPUs for endoscopic resection of early CRC
 Comes with an excellent, educational graphic for how to approach surveillance post-endoscopic resection 👇

Lastly, for the case report fans among us, there's an interesting case of collagenous gastritis, which can cause chronic diarrhea, reflux, and weight loss 🔑 treatment is not standardized, but might include budesonide, adjunctive PPIs, and nutritional support.

I've anecdotally seen some good outcomes with EUS-guided hepaticojejunostomy in patients with total gastrectomy, so it's nice to see other centers report the same in this month's @GIE_Journal 👉Technical success = 100% 👉Clinical success = 80% 👉Adverse events = 33%

Appreciated this article from @BilalMohammadMD (with commentary by @EndoscopyOthman ) on endoscopic internalization of PCTs. 1 thing I've been told is to consider manual instillation via syringe to better feel the pressure. Well worth the short read for those of us who do it!
