Abstract:
A 78-year-old man was referred to our hospital for a detailed examination of a pancreatic tumor that filled the main pancreatic duct (MPD). The histological diagnosis of the endoscopic biopsy specimen was neuroendocrine tumor (NET) G3. The patient subsequently underwent total pancreatectomy. The histological diagnosis of the surgical specimen was also NET G3. This is the first report of a NET that occupied the MPD and was diagnosed by a preoperative endoscopic biopsy through the papilla of Vater. This case is a good example of a histopathological diagnostic method for pancreatic tumors invading the entire MPD.
