Pancreatic neoplasms are usually characterized by ductal, acinar, or endocrine differentiation. Mixed exocrine and endocrine pancreatic tumours are extremely rare. Here, we report a case of pancreatic mixed acinar-endocrine carcinoma (MAEC) with multiple synchronous liver metastases that were treated with surgery and transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) that later recurred in the stomach.
A 45-year-old female with severe anaemia was referred to our hospital. Computed tomography (CT) demonstrated a hypervascular tumour, 17 cm in diameter, that was in the tail of the pancreas. In addition, there were multiple hypervascular tumours in the liver. She underwent a distal pancreatectomy with splenectomy after the liver metastases were treated with TACE. Pathology confirmed that the pancreatic tumour was MAEC. After 4.5 years, a follow-up CT showed a hypervascular tumour at the upper part of the stomach. Gastric endoscopy showed a big tumefactive lesion with surface irregularities, gastric erosion, and multiple dilated vessels in the fornix and greater curvature of the stomach. She underwent a proximal gastrectomy and survived 7 years and 2 months after the start of the treatment.
This is the first report of a metastatic stomach tumour from pancreatic MAEC, which was successfully treated with a multidisciplinary approach. Additionally, we review the literature and discuss the treatment of MAEC.
胰腺肿瘤通常以导管、腺泡或内分泌分化为特征。胰腺外分泌和内分泌混合性肿瘤极为罕见。在此,我们报告一例胰腺混合性腺泡-内分泌癌(MAEC)伴多发同步肝转移的病例,该病例接受了手术和经动脉化疗栓塞术(TACE)治疗,随后肿瘤在胃内复发。
一名45岁重度贫血女性被转诊至我院。计算机断层扫描(CT)显示胰腺尾部有一个直径17厘米的富血管肿瘤。此外,肝脏内有多个富血管肿瘤。在对肝转移灶进行TACE治疗后,她接受了远端胰腺切除术加脾切除术。病理证实胰腺肿瘤为MAEC。4.5年后,随访CT显示胃上部有一个富血管肿瘤。胃镜检查显示胃穹窿部和胃大弯处有一个大的肿块样病变,表面不平整,胃黏膜糜烂,有多处扩张血管。她接受了近端胃切除术,治疗开始后存活了7年零2个月。
这是首例胰腺MAEC转移至胃的肿瘤病例,该病例通过多学科方法成功治疗。此外,我们回顾了文献并讨论了MAEC的治疗方法。
