Malignant Appearance of Pancreatic Benign Lesion: Focal Chronic Pancreatitis

In this paper, we report a case, characterized by enlargement of the head of the pancreas secondary to inflammation, a focal pancreatitis involved with pancreatic cancer. ( Sakarya Med J 2016, 6(4):235-239 ).

📌 3 Key Takeaways

🎯

Objective & Hypothesis:Chronic pancreatitis and pancreatic cancer are two separate pancreatic pathology, which can be quite difficult at time to distinguish from each other, with similar clinical and laboratory findings.

📊

Key Findings & Data:When conventional radiological methods such as Ultrasonography (USG), Computed Tomography (CT), Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) are insufficent, fluorodeoxyglucose-positron emission tomography (FDG-PET), Endoscopic Ultrasonography (EUS) and EUS guided fine needle aspiration biopsy may be useful in the differential diagnosis.

💡

Conclusion & Impact:In this paper, we report a case, characterized by enlargement of the head of the pancreas secondary to inflammation, a focal pancreatitis involved with pancreatic cancer. ( Sakarya Med J 2016, 6(4):235-239 ).

Abstract

Chronic pancreatitis and pancreatic cancer are two separate pancreatic pathology, which can be quite difficult at time to distinguish from each other, with similar clinical and laboratory findings. When conventional radiological methods such as Ultrasonography (USG), Computed Tomography (CT), Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) are insufficent, fluorodeoxyglucose-positron emission tomography (FDG-PET), Endoscopic Ultrasonography (EUS) and EUS guided fine needle aspiration biopsy may be useful in the differential diagnosis. In this paper, we report a case, characterized by enlargement of the head of the pancreas secondary to inflammation, a focal pancreatitis involved with pancreatic cancer.

Özet

Kronik pankreatit ve pankreas kanseri benzer klinik ve laboratuar bulguları ile zaman zaman birbirinden ayrımı oldukça zor olabilen iki ayrı pankreas patolojisidir. Ultrasonografi (USG), Bilgisayarlı Tomografi (BT), Manyetik Rezonans Görüntümele (MRI) gibi klasik radyolojik yöntemlerin yetersiz kaldığı durumlarda Fuorodeoksiglukoz-Pozitron Emisyon Tomografisi (FDG-PET), Endoskopik Ultrasonografi (EUS) ve EUS eşliğinde İnce İğne Aspirasyon Biyopsisi ayırıcı tanıda yararlı olabilmektedir. Bu yazıda pankreas başında inflamasyona sekonder genişleme ile karakterize, pankreas kanseri ile karışan bir fokal pankreatit olgusunu sunmaktayız. ( Sakarya Tıp Dergisi 2016, 6(4):235-239 )
