METHODS: From July 2003 to March 2013, 116 patients were diagnosed with SPT of the pancreas in our institution. Of these patients, 16 were male. The patients were divided into two groups based on gender: female (group 1) and male (group 2). The groups were compared with regard to demographic characteristics, clinical presentations, surgical strategies, complications and follow-up outcomes. RESULTS: Male patients were older than female patients (43.1 +/- 12.3 years vs 33.1 +/- 11.5 years, P = 0.04). Tumor size, location, and symptoms were comparable between the two groups. All patients, with the exception of one, underwent complete surgical resection. The patients were regularly followed up. The mean follow-up period was 58 mo. Two female patients (1.7%) developed tumor recurrence or metastases and required a second resection, and two female patients (1.7%) died during the follow-up period. CONCLUSION: Male patients with SPT of the pancreas are older than female patients. There are no significant differences between male and female patients regarding surgical strategies and prognosis.

Intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm (IPMN) is a pancreatic exocrine tumor composed of intraductal papillary growth of mucin containing neoplastic cells in the main pancreatic duct or its major branches. In the case presented here, a 53-year-old, Japanese man was found to have multiple cystic lesions and dilatation of the main pancreatic duct in the neck of the pancreas. Histological examination revealed a main-duct and branch-duct type IPMN, of the gastric-type, involving the neck of the pancreas, associated with a 0.5 cm SPN in the caudal side of the IPMN. We diagnosed this case as synchronous SPN and IPMN. As far as we know, only one other case of synchronous SPN and IPMN has been reported. Both the present case and the previously reported case showed abnormal nuclear expression of β-catenin in SPN, whereas IPMN showed no abnormal nuclear expression. These results suggest that β-catenin abnormality is not a common pathogenetic factor of synchronous SPN and IPMN.展开更多

Methods:Nine surgically treated cases of SPTP were retrospectively reviewed. Hematoxylin and Eosin(HE) staining and immunohistochemical staining were used to analyze all cases, and the general clinical data was collected. Results:Six patients were asymptomatic except for a palpable mass. Two patients complained of vague-epigastric pain. One patient appeared jaundice. The tumor was encapsulated and solid tissues alternately with cystic tissues. Histologically, the histological structure of solid portion was pseudopapillary with a fibrovascular core. Tumor cells were uniform and medium-sized which were arranged in sheets ets or nests or pseudopapillary patterns. Immunohistochemical studies demonstrated that SPTP proved positive in vimentin(9/9 cases), AAT(9/9 cases), NSE(9/9 cases), ACT(7/9 cases), CK20(2/9 cases), CgA(1/9 cases), S-100(3/gcases), PR(4/gcases), Syn(3/9 cases) and CD56(5/9cases), negative in CEA and ER. Conclusion:SPTP is a tumor predominantly occurring in young women frequently without special symptoms. This tumor has various characteristical histological patterns with different immunophenotype.展开更多

Methods The computed tomographic findings in 21 patients (18 women and 3 men) with pathologically proven solid pseudopapillary tumor of the pancreas were reviewed retrospectively. Two radiologists reviewed images for location, size and morphology, capsule and margin, density, enhancement pattern, calcification, dilatation of pancreatic duct, lymphadenopathy, vascular invasion, distant metastasis, and recurrence. Results On CT, the lesion presented as solitary, round (28.57%), oval (57.14%), or lobulated (14.28%) mass in pancreatic head (47.62%) with complete capsule (85.71%). Lesions smaller than 4cm in maximum diameter (47.62%) presented as predominantly solid mass whereas lesions greater than 4cm in diameter (52.28%) presented as heterogenous mass. On contrast administration, the viable solid portion of the tumor showed mild peripheral enhancement in arterial phase [enhancement degree<20Hounsfield unit (HU)] with progressive fill in during the portal and hepatic parenchyma phase (enhancement degree 20-40HU). Eighteen lesions (85.7%) had complete capsule. Two lesions (9.5%) had areas of high density (>60HU) on plain CT which due to hemorrhage. Dilatation of the pancreatic duct was rare (25%), and distant metastasis, regional lymphadenopathy, and tumor recurrence were absent. Nine patients (42.85%) had an abdominal CT follow-up for 24.55months (range, 2-60months) post-surgery without recurrence or distant metastasis. Conclusion Solid pseudopapillary tumor of the pancreas usually occurs in young females in the pancreatic head or tail. On CT, they manifest as moderate vascular mixed tumor, progressive enhancement of the viable solid portion, distinct tumor margin with capsule formation, and absence of regional lymphadenopathy.展开更多
