Der solid pseudopapilläre Pankreastumor (SPT) – eine seltene Raumforderung der Bauchspeicheldrüse
2008
BACKGROUND: In general, the rare SPT is a tumour of low malignancy predominantly affecting young women. The outcome after radical resection is favourable. In exceptional cases the tumour presents as solid pseudopapillary carcinoma (SPC) with typical malignant features and even metastases. Unresectable liver metastases can be treated with RFA, TACE or chemotherapy. METHODS: We retrospectively reviewed the surgical approach, immunohistochemistry and clinical outcome in five female patients (1998 - 2007). RESULTS: The mean age was 16 years (range: 13 - 47 years). For radical tumour removal a pancreato - duodenectomy (n = 3), a distal pancreatectomy (n = 1) and an enucleation (n = 1) were perfo…
Malignant epithelial/exocrine tumors of the pancreas
2020
Summary Pancreatic malignant exocrine tumors represent the most important cause of cancer-related death for pancreatic neoplasms. The most common tumor type in this category is represented by pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), an ill defined, stroma-rich, scirrhous neoplasm with glandular differentiation. Here we present the relevant characteristics of the most important PDAC variants, namely adenosquamous carcinoma, colloid carcinoma, undifferentiated carcinoma, undifferentiated carcinoma with osteoclast-like giant cells, signet ring carcinoma, medullary carcinoma and hepatoid carcinoma. The other categories of malignant exocrine tumors, characterized by fleshy, stroma-poor, circumsc…
