Acinar cell carcinoma (ACC) is a rare malignancy of the pancreas arising from acinar cells. Unlike ductal adenocarcinoma, this tumor rarely presents with pancreatitis.
We present a case of ACC associated with chronic calcifying pancreatitis, and a review of the literature focusing on diagnosis and management.
A 43-year-old man was proposed for Wirsungojejunal derivation for chronic pancreatitis. Histopathological examination of the tissue extracted revealed an ACC. Duodenopancreatectomy was performed. Six months post-operatively, the patient developed hepatic metastasis and was treated with gemcitabine as palliative chemotherapy.
The clinical presentation of ACC of the pancreas is not specific and the tumor can be under-diagnosed when associated with chronic pancreatitis. Data regarding course, treatment, and prognosis of this tumor are generally lacking.
胰腺腺泡细胞癌(ACC)是一种罕见的胰腺恶性肿瘤,起源于腺泡细胞。与导管腺癌不同,这种肿瘤很少伴有胰腺炎。
我们报告一例与慢性钙化性胰腺炎相关的 ACC,并对诊断和治疗方面的文献进行了回顾。
一名 43 岁男性因慢性胰腺炎被提议行 Wirsungojejunal 转流术。所取出组织的组织病理学检查显示为 ACC。行胰十二指肠切除术。术后 6 个月,患者出现肝转移,并接受吉西他滨姑息化疗。
胰腺 ACC 的临床表现不具有特异性,当与慢性胰腺炎相关时,肿瘤可能会被漏诊。关于该肿瘤病程、治疗和预后的数据通常较为缺乏。
