Primary Pancreatic Lymphoma Evaluated by Fine-Needle Aspiration Findings in 14 Cases2004 •
2006 •
Primary pancreatic lymphomas (PPL) are rare tumours of the pancreas. Symptoms, imaging and tumour markers can mimic pancreatic adenocarcinoma, but they are much more amenable to treatment. Treatment for PPL remains controversial, particularly the role of surgical resection. Four cases of primary pancreatic lymphoma were identified at Prince of Wales Hospital, Sydney, Australia. A literature review of cases of PPL reported between 1985 and 2005 was conducted, and outcomes were contrasted. All four patients presented with upper abdominal symptoms associated with weight loss. One case was diagnosed without surgery. No patients underwent pancreatectomy. All patients were treated with chemotherapy and radiotherapy, and two of four patients received rituximab. One patient died at 32 months. Three patients are disease free at 15, 25 and 64 months, one after successful retreatment. Literature review identified a further 103 patients in 11 case series. Outcomes in our series and other series...

Primary Pancreatic Lymphoma Masquerading as Carcinoma2020 •
Adenocarcinoma is the most common primary pancreatic neoplasm type, followed by secondary pancreatic lymphoma and primary pancreatic lymphoma (PPL). PPL is associated with peripancreatic lymphadenopathy and usually presents as a homogenous mass with extrapancreatic invasion into surrounding structures. However, localized involvement of the distal pancreas is uncommon, and diffuse involvement of the pancreas is even rarer. Herein, we present the case of a 53-year-old woman with PPL of the uncinate process with biliary obstruction mimicking pancreatic adenocarcinoma, successfully diagnosed nonoperatively. Abdominal computed tomography showed an ill-defined uncinate process mass, hypodense with mild enhancement (3.9×3.4×3.5 cm), infiltrating the second and third parts of the duodenum. Biopsy revealed NHL with no evidence of adenocarcinoma. PPL was diagnosed. She received chemotherapy with a CHOP (cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisone) protocol with rituximab, which...

AAnalysis Dialogs and Machine Consciousness2023 •
Analysis dialogs aim at analyzing the operation of a chatbot or more generally of a question answeringsystem to discover its limitations and maybe discover their nonhuman nature as in the case of theTuring test. The answers elicited from the system may be accompanied by explanations that are crucialfor judging whether a system is self-aware. Self-awareness of question answering systems, or the so-called “artifi cial consciousness” require the recording of the actions that a system performs to generateits answer. These actions may be represented either as a path of state changes or as a sequence ofreasoning steps. When this path or sequence is too long, an analysis dialog may aim at exploring thecapability of a system to summarize the raw explanations and generate shorter explanations friendlierto the interrogating user. The real analysis dialogs of two Turing test champions, namely Chip Vivantand Mitsuku with the user are presented and commented on. The comments aim at clarifying thediffi culty of these systems to answer reasonably some questions a fact that indicates their nonhumannature. The methodology tested was applied to ChatGPT, and the results are presented with analogouscomments. An appropriate subset of questions augmented by new ones was used.
