We report herein the case of a 61-year-old man found to have a rare nonfunctional paraganglioma of the pancreas. Interestingly, the preoperative data and images showed similar characteristics to neuroendocrine tumors of the pancreas. Both paragangliomas and neuroendocrine tumors of the pancreas belong to the category of Amine Precursor Uptake and Decarboxylation (APUD) tumors (APUDomas). Thus, it is important to examine the serum level of pancreatic endocrine hormones and a variety of peptides to differentiate paragangliomas of the pancreas from other pancreatic tumors. Paragangliomas of the pancreas grow slowly, so radical resection is recommended to achieve curability with a good prognosis.
我们在此报告一例61岁男性，其被发现患有罕见的胰腺无功能副神经节瘤。有趣的是，术前数据和影像显示出与胰腺神经内分泌肿瘤相似的特征。胰腺副神经节瘤和胰腺神经内分泌肿瘤均属于胺前体摄取与脱羧（APUD）肿瘤（APUD瘤）。因此，检测胰腺内分泌激素和多种肽的血清水平对于鉴别胰腺副神经节瘤与其他胰腺肿瘤很重要。胰腺副神经节瘤生长缓慢，因此建议行根治性切除以实现治愈且预后良好。
