Duodenal mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma is a rare condition. Simultaneous presence of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma along with duodenal MALT lymphoma has not been documented in the scientific literature. We report an exceptionally rare case of synchronous duodenal MALT lymphoma and pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma.
A 75-year-old man was referred to our hospital with dyspepsia and weight loss.
Esophagogastroduodenoscopy was performed, revealing synchronous tumor comprising pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma and MALT lymphoma of the duodenum.
Given that the pancreatic carcinoma would be the primary determinant of prognosis, we prioritized treatment of the pancreatic carcinoma. Consequently, we performed a Whipple operation first. Post-operative pathologic examination revealed metastasis of pancreatic cancer to peri-pancreatic lymph nodes, whereas the MALT lymphoma was localized to the duodenum; therefore, only adjuvant chemotherapy for pancreatic cancer was performed.
To date, the patient has had no recurrence of either the pancreatic cancer or the MALT lymphoma.
To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case to be reported. Awareness of this co-occurrence may help diagnosis and management of similar cases.
十二指肠黏膜相关淋巴组织(MALT)淋巴瘤是一种罕见疾病。科学文献中尚未记载十二指肠MALT淋巴瘤与胰腺导管腺癌同时存在的情况。我们报告了一例极为罕见的同步性十二指肠MALT淋巴瘤和胰腺导管腺癌病例。
一名75岁男性因消化不良和体重减轻被转诊至我院。
进行了食管胃十二指肠镜检查,发现同步性肿瘤,包括胰腺导管腺癌和十二指肠MALT淋巴瘤。
鉴于胰腺癌将是预后的主要决定因素,我们将胰腺癌的治疗放在首位。因此,我们首先进行了胰十二指肠切除术。术后病理检查显示胰腺癌转移至胰腺周围淋巴结,而MALT淋巴瘤局限于十二指肠;因此,仅对胰腺癌进行了辅助化疗。
迄今为止,该患者的胰腺癌和MALT淋巴瘤均未复发。
据我们所知,这是首例报告病例。认识到这种同时出现的情况可能有助于类似病例的诊断和管理。
