Abstract

Rationale:

Adenocarcinoma and neuroendocrine tumors are a very rare combination of double primary pancreas tumor.

Patient Concerns:

A Whipple operation was initially performed on a 64-year-old man to remove an adenocarcinoma. Four years after the operation, surveillance- computed tomography revealed abnormal findings of the pancreas. Recurrent adenocarcinoma and neuroendocrine tumor involving different sites of the remnant pancreas were simultaneously detected and characterized on computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging.

Diagnoses:

The patient was diagnosed with recurrent adenocarcinoma and neuroendocrine tumor in the post-operative pancreas.

Interventions:

Radical pancreatosplenectomy was performed. The patient underwent subsequent chemotherapy and radiotherapy.

Outcomes:

No tumor recurrence was found during the 5 years of follow-up visits.

Lessons:

The possibility of multiple primary tumors of different histological origin should be considered when multiple different pancreatic lesions are detected on images. Computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) play key roles in the management of multiple tumors in the pancreas.

Pancreas

Pancreas

The pancreas, an essential organ in the human body, is a pinkish-gray elongated structure located posterior to the stomach. It extends laterally from the duodenum towards the spleen and is firmly bound to the posterior wall of the abdominal cavity. The organ's surface has a lumpy, lobular texture that gives it a unique appearance.
The broad head of the pancreas lies within the loop formed by the duodenum, while its slender body reaches towards the spleen. The tail of the pancreas is short...

Cells and Secretions of the Pancreas

Cells and Secretions of the Pancreas

The pancreas, a vital organ within the abdominal cavity, plays dual roles in the digestive and endocrine systems, collaborating with exocrine and endocrine cells to maintain optimal digestion and blood sugar levels.
Exocrine function is carried out by acinar cells, organized into clusters known as acini. These cells contribute to digestion by releasing substantial quantities of enzyme-rich, alkaline digestive juices.
Concurrently, the dispersed clusters of endocrine cells throughout the...

Data Reporting and Recording

Data Reporting and Recording

Reporting and recording are crucial in data documentation. The timely, thorough, and accurate documentation of facts is essential when recording patient data. Failure to record findings during an assessment or interpretation of a problem will result in loss of information and make the patient document unreliable. The reader is left with general impressions if the information is not specific. A recording is documenting data of the individual's health information in a traceable, secure, and...

Fixing Double-strand Breaks

Fixing Double-strand Breaks

The double-stranded structure of DNA has two major advantages. First, it serves as a safe repository of genetic information where one strand serves as the back-up in case the other strand is damaged. Second, the double-helical structure can be wrapped around proteins called histones to form nucleosomes, which can then be tightly wound to form chromosomes. This way, DNA chains up to 2 inches long can be contained within microscopic structures in a cell. A double-stranded break not only damages...
