RESUMEN
PURPOSE: A preoperative estimate of the risk of malignancy for intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms (IPMN) is important. The present study carries out an external validation of the Shin score in a European multicenter cohort. METHODS: An observational multicenter European study from 2010 to 2015. All consecutive patients undergoing surgery for IPMN at 35 hospitals with histological-confirmed IPMN were included. RESULTS: A total of 567 patients were included. The score was significantly associated with the presence of malignancy (p < 0.001). In all, 64% of the patients with benign IPMN had a Shin score < 3 and 57% of those with a diagnosis of malignancy had a score ≥ 3. The relative risk (RR) with a Shin score of 3 was 1.37 (95% CI: 1.07-1.77), with a sensitivity of 57.1% and specificity of 64.4%. CONCLUSION: Patients with a Shin score ≤ 1 should undergo surveillance, while patients with a score ≥ 4 should undergo surgery. Treatment of patients with Shin scores of 2 or 3 should be individualized because these scores cannot accurately predict malignancy of IPMNs. This score should not be the only criterion and should be applied in accordance with agreed clinical guidelines.

One of the complications that can occur in pancreas transplant is a massive intestinal hemorrhage, although such a hemorrhage is very rarely caused by ulcers due to cytomegalovirus infection. Treatment is fundamentally based on relaparatomy, although in some cases interventional radiology can be an efficient alternative because it allows the exact bleeding point to be located and therapeutic embolization to be performed. In this case, a man with diabetes type 1 who was given a simultaneous kidney-pancreas transplant had an ulcer due to cytomegalovirus infection develop in the duodenal graft (in the early postoperative period), causing a severe hemorrhage in the lower part of the gastrointestinal tract that was controlled via selective embolization of a branch of the pancreaticoduodenal artery.
