Pancreatic acinar cell carcinoma (PACC) is a rare tumor of the exocrine pancreas. It accounts for only 1% of all pancreatic malignancies. A 39-year woman sought treatment for repeated abdominal pain and jaundice. The computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) suggested diffuse enlargement of the pancreas. 18 F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography (PET)/CT showed diffuse enlargement of the pancreas and increased glucose uptake. The endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration (EUS-FNA) biopsy of the pancreas was performed, and the case was finally diagnosed as PACC. After the sixth course of chemotherapy with gemcitabine and albumin paclitaxel, a CT scan showed significant shrinkage of the pancreas. PACC very rarely presents with diffuse enlargement of the pancreas. This case illustrates a rare presentation of PACC with diffuse pancreatic enlargement, which was effectively treated with gemcitabine and albumin paclitaxel chemotherapy. Key Words: Pancreatic acinar cell carcinoma, Positron emission tomography/computed tomography, Chemotherapy.
胰腺腺泡细胞癌(PACC)是一种罕见的胰腺外分泌肿瘤。它仅占所有胰腺恶性肿瘤的 1%。一位 39 岁女性因反复腹痛和黄疸就诊。计算机断层扫描(CT)和磁共振成像(MRI)提示胰腺弥漫性肿大。18 F-氟脱氧葡萄糖(FDG)正电子发射断层扫描(PET)/CT 显示胰腺弥漫性肿大和葡萄糖摄取增加。对胰腺进行了内镜超声引导下细针抽吸(EUS-FNA)活检,最终诊断为 PACC。在接受吉西他滨和白蛋白紫杉醇化疗 6 个疗程后,CT 扫描显示胰腺明显缩小。PACC 很少表现为胰腺弥漫性肿大。本病例阐明了一种罕见的 PACC 表现为弥漫性胰腺肿大,吉西他滨和白蛋白紫杉醇化疗对此有效。关键词:胰腺腺泡细胞癌,正电子发射断层扫描/计算机断层扫描,化疗。
