Neuroendocrine tumors (NET) of the pancreas fall into the group of gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasms (GEP-NEN). The assignment of imaging morphological criteria to this heterogeneous gro...
Diagnostic ultrasound, computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and positron emission tomography-CT (PET/CT) are available for the detection of pancreatic NET (also referred to as NE...
In particular, nuclear medicine examination methods with somatostatin analogues are of high value, since they make tumors visible with high sensitivity via radioactively labeled receptor ligands....
CT and MRI have high detection rates of pancreatic NET. Further developments, such as diffusion imaging, have further improved these traditional cross-sectional imaging diagnostics. However, nuclear m...
It is important for the radiologist to be familiar with NET of the pancreas, as it is an important differential diagnosis-also with regard to prognosis-of other pancreatic lesions....
Because NET are often hypervascularized, a biphasic examination technique after contrast administration is mandatory for cross-sectional imaging. PET/CT with somatostatin analogues should be performed...
BK polyomavirus (BKV) infection is a common complication of kidney transplantation. While BKV has been described in non-kidney transplant recipients, data are limited regarding its epidemiology and ou...
We conducted a retrospective cohort study of adults who underwent pancreas transplantation from 2010-2020. The primary outcome was BKV DNAemia. Secondary outcomes were estimated glomerular filtration ...
Four hundred and sixty-six patients were analyzed, including 74, 46, and 346 with pancreas transplant alone (PTA), pancreas-after-kidney, or simultaneous pancreas-kidney transplants, respectively. PTA...
BKV DNAemia was common among PTA recipients, though lower than a comparable group of pancreas-kidney recipients. However, BKV DNAemia was not associated with adverse native kidney outcomes and no PTA ...
Acinar cystic transformation (ACT) of the pancreas is a rare non-neoplastic cystic lesion. It is difficult to distinguish from more concerning pathology, particularly a side-branch duct intraductal pa...
Solid pseudopapillary neoplasm of the pancreas (SPNP) is a rare entity. In this study, we present a woman in her 20's who presented for evaluation of two separate pancreatic masses. On imaging and bio...
Minimally invasive procedures minimize trauma to the human body while maintaining satisfactory therapeutic results. Minimally invasive pancreas surgery (MIPS) was introduced in 1994, but questions reg...
Lipomatous pseudohypertrophy of the pancreas, pancreatic lipomatosis, pancreatic steatosis, non-alcoholic fatty pancreatic disease, or fatty pancreas is an extremely rare disease, characterized by the...
To report a rare case of lipomatous pseudohypertrophy of the pancreas in a symptomatic patient and the surgical treatment employed....
A 24-year-old male patient with weight loss (10 kilograms in 8 months), hyperglycemia, severe and recurrent acute abdominal pain, epigastric discomfort associated with nausea, vomiting, and jaundice f...
The postoperative course was uneventful, the length of stay in the ICU was two days, and the patient was discharged on the seventh postoperative day....
The disease treatment depends on the signs and symptoms at presentation and a pancreatoduodenectomy is indicated in patients with severe and recurrent abdominal pain....
This review aims to introduce research in the pancreas to a broader audience. The pancreas is a heterocrine gland residing deep within our abdominal cavity. It is the home to our islets, which play a ...
Over a 100 years ago, we began studying pancreatic histology using cadaveric samples and clever adaptations to microscopes. As histologists, some may say nothing much has changed. Nevertheless, our mi...
This narrative review will provide an overview of pancreatic anatomy, and the importance of research focused on the pancreas in T1D. It will range from histological breakthroughs to briefly discussing...
BACKGROUND A choledochal cyst (CC), or biliary cyst, is a congenital or acquired anomaly of the biliary tree. Pancreas divisum (PD) is a rare congenital anomaly due to incomplete fusion of pancreatic ...
Pancreatic metastases from renal cell carcinoma (RCC) are rare. This study evaluated the surgical pathology and outcomes after resection of RCC metastases to the pancreas....
A retrospective review of from 1 January 2011 to 31 December 2021, of patients who underwent pancreatic surgery for metastases from RCC. Data were retrieved from a prospectively managed database and p...
There were 25 patients (17 males, 8 females, median age 66 range 51 - 79 year), all with metachronous metastases. Median time from resection of the primary to operation for pancreatic RCC was 95.6 (12...
Pancreatic resection for metastases from RCC offers favorable prognosis with a curative potential and should be considered a valuable treatment option even in the era of novel targeted treatment....
Pancreatic solid pseudopapillary neoplasms (SPN) are generally indolent; however, some patients present with "malignant" SPN. An orthogonal analysis of multiple datasets was performed to investigate t...
A systematic review was performed for cases of malignant SPN, defined as T4, N1, and/or M1. Malignant SPN was analyzed within the National Cancer Database (NCDB) and compared with T1-3N0M0 SPN. Predic...
The systematic review yielded 164 cases of malignant SPN. Of 31 children, only one died due to malignant SPN. Among adults, CSR was associated with improved disease-specific survival (DSS) (P = 0.0002...
Approximately 13% of patients with SPN present with a malignant phenotype. Pediatric cases may be less aggressive. Resection may improve survival for malignant SPN, which does not appear chemosensitiv...
