Completion Pancreaticoduodenectomy for a Second Primary Pancreatic Cancer: A Case Report
1Department of Surgery, University Hospitals Case Medical Center, Cleveland, Ohio.
Abstract:
Background: Recurrent pancreatic cancer may represent a true local recurrence or a second intrapancreatic primary. Resection of recurrent pancreatic cancer is uncommon. Case Presentation: A 68-year-old woman underwent a distal pancreatectomy/splenectomy for pancreatic adenocarcinoma after presenting with acute pancreatitis. She received 6 months of adjuvant gemcitabine. Nearly 5 years later, she presented with acute pancreatitis. Endoscopic ultrasonography suggested malignant degeneration of an uncinate intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm (IPMN), but the cytology was negative. She subsequently underwent a completion pancreaticoduodenectomy for what proved to be a second pancreatic adenocarcinoma. Conclusion: Although uncommon, repeat resection for a second pancreatic cancer may be appropriate in select patients. Careful attention to the remnant pancreas must be maintained on surveillance imaging.

Pancreatic Juice and Secretion
When acidic chyme from the stomach enters the duodenum, it triggers the release of secretin, a hormone that prompts pancreatic juice secretion. After a fatty meal, cholecystokinin, another hormone, stimulates gallbladder contraction and enhances enzyme-rich...
