Publication Central Pancreatectomy for Bilobed Solid Pseudopapillary Tumor of Pancreas(Kathmandu University, 2023) Jha, MK; Ramtel, R; Adhikari, B; Laudari, U; Thapa, A; Rawal, SBABSTRACT Solid-pseudopapillary tumor of pancreas is a rare pancreatic tumor that occurs predominantly in a young female with only a small minority concerning children. These tumors have low malignant potential, found incidentally which are usually single lobed. Surgical resection remains the mainstay of treatment. Our case is 26 years female with vomiting and abdominal pain localized to the right upper quadrant. Computerized tomography scans showed two well-defined hypodense lesions at neck and body of the pancreas with greatest diameter of six centimeter. The patient underwent central pancreatectomy and histopathology confirmed solid-pseudopapillary tumor with complete resection with all resected margin free of tumor. Symptoms may be present such as abdominal pain or vomiting due to compression, mainly in large tumors. In benign cases parenchyma sparing surgery such as central pancreatectomy can preserve the exocrine and endocrine function of pancreas which helps patient to have better postoperative quality of life.

ABO and Rhesus blood group systems are considered the most important blood group systems for clinical procedures, blood transfusion, organ transplantation, anthropological study and medico-legal purposes. Determination of ABO and Rhesus blood groups and its frequency distribution in a multiethnic country like Nepal is important for effective management of blood banks, safe blood transfusion services. The trend of blood groups and its ethnic distributions in the eastern part of Nepal is still unknown. Objective To find the distribution of blood groups among the subjects of different ethnic groups of eastern Nepal. Method A cross-sectional perspective study was carried out among the subjects visited in the laboratory of Nobel Medical College, Biratnagar, Nepal for a period of one year from August 1, 2015 to July 30, 2016. Result The 11,960 subjects were included in the present study, among which 5012 were males and 6948 were females. The study revealed that in ABO system, blood group distribution was 34.80% O, 28.66% A, 27.66% B and 6.89% AB. With regard to Rh blood group system, Rhesus +ve was 96.79% and Rhesus –ve was 3.21%. O blood group dominant ethnic groups were Brahmin, Bhujel, Biswakarma, Shah, Gurung, Marwari, Magar, Mahato, Mandal, Newar, Sanyasi, Tamang, Terai Brahmin and Yadav. Similarly, blood group A dominant ethnic groups were Chhetri, Dhimal, Limbu, Rai and Muslim. Howerver, blood group B was dominant in ethnic groups, namely Biswakarma, Rajput, Satar and Tharu. Conclusion The frequency distribution pattern of ABO blood group was observed as O > A> B > AB and in Rhesus system, Rhesus +ve > Rhesus –ve. Variation in blood groups distribution was observed in various ethnic groups. KEY WORDS ABO system, Blood group, Eastern Nepal, Ethnic group, Rhesus system
