Pancreatic hamartoma is a rare benign tumor that can mimic malignancy. Surgical resection and histopathology are essential for accurate diagnosis of this challenging pancreatic lesion.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Surgical Oncology
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Pancreatic hamartoma is a rare benign neoplasm.
  • It can be misdiagnosed as pancreatic cancer due to similar clinical presentations.

Observation:

  • Two cases of pancreatic hamartoma are presented, involving a 29-year-old and a 62-year-old male.
  • Both patients exhibited non-specific symptoms like abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, and significant weight loss.
  • Diagnostic imaging (CT, MRI, endosonography) revealed pancreatic head masses, but definitive diagnosis required surgical intervention.

Findings:

  • Histopathological examination confirmed hamartoma in both cases after Kausch-Whipple pancreatoduodenectomy.
  • Despite advanced imaging, differentiating hamartoma from malignancy preoperatively remains challenging.

Implications:

  • This highlights the importance of considering pancreatic hamartoma in the differential diagnosis of pancreatic masses.
  • Surgical resection followed by histopathological analysis is crucial for confirming the diagnosis and ensuring appropriate patient management.
