Central pancreatectomy for the treatment of a benign pancreatic lesion. Case report and literature review

Abstract: We present the case of a 45 year old female patient with an incidental diagnosis of a cystic pancreatic lesion corresponding to a serous cystadenoma of 14 mm. During a 5-year follow-up (CT and MRT) the lesion tripled in size and a surgical intervention was decided upon. The lesion was thought to have a benign pathology and, in an attempt to preserve the spleen and a major portion of pancreatic tissue, a central pancreatectomy with a diversion of the remaining distal pancreas was carried out. The authors review… Show more

“…MP could preserve pancreatic parenchyma as much as possible during operation, particularly in body and tail of the parenchyma where there is an enrichment of islet cells. This result positively affirmed the previous researches . A growing body of literatures support that β‐cells own the capacity of regeneration in childhood rather than adulthood.…”

“…For the benign and borderline tumours in the neck and body of the pancreas, the middle pancreatic resection can keep the normal pancreas tissue as much as possible, and the incidence of long‐term post‐operative pancreatic function insufficiency will be greatly reduced. However, MP might be accompanied by higher complication risks compared with DP due to the unavoidable reconstruction of digestive tract …”

“…6,12 El SCA tiene una gran variedad morfológica, en la tomografía (TAC) se puede observar: Microquísticos (0.1 a 2 cm) en forma de racimos de uva o una disposición en panal de abejas, los Macro/oligoquísticos (>2cm )son uniloculados o multiquístico y una variante solida de múltiples microquistes, en la TAC solo se puede distinguir la morfología del 60 al 70% de los casos. 2,4,5 Entre las diversas neoplasias quísticas el cistoadenoma de tipo mucinoso representa el 28 a 54% de neoplasias malignas y muchas veces son difíciles de diferenciar en la TAC con los Macro/oligoquísticos del SCA. 3,7 El uso de estudios de imágenes (tomografía computarizada, ultrasonografía, angiografía, y la Colangiopancreatografía endoscópica retrógrada) ayudan al descubrimiento de lesiones pancreáticas sin embargo estas técnicas tienen 25-50% de error diagnóstico y se aconseja combinarla con citología mediante aspiración con aguja fina (BAAF).…”
