Large Solid-pseudopapillary Neoplasm of the Pancreas with Aberrant Protein Expression and Mutation of β-Catenin: A Case Report and Literature Review of the Distribution of β-Catenin Mutation

Abstract: Solid-pseudopapillary neoplasms (SPN) are rare pancreatic tumors. The etiology of SPN involves mutations in the gene that encodes β-catenin (CTNNB1). We herein report the case of a 23-year-old woman with a large SPN with proliferating tumor cells that displayed both solid and pseudo-papillary patterns. The simultaneous nuclear accumulation and loss of membrane localization of β-catenin and E-cadherin was specifically observed in the tumor cells. Further, the tumor cells were shown to harbor a missense mutation… Show more

“…Endoscopic ultrasound assists in preop histologic sampling. Immunohistochemistry stain positive for beta-catenin, vimentin, CD10, cyclin D1, CD56, progesterone receptor, SOX 11 [12][13][14][15]. The incidence of metastasis in SPN is even rarer (5-15%) and is synchronous in liver or peritoneum [4,5].…”

“…We therefore suspected malignant lymphoma in addition to colon cancer, despite the fact that primary colonic lymphoma is rare [4], and we did not consider differential diagnosis of pancreatic tumor, including pancreatic cancer and solid pseudopapillary tumor. Based on the CT findings alone, solid pseudopapillary tumor of the pancreas would also have been a differential diagnosis because CT showed the patient's tumor as a large solid pseudopapillary tumor [5]. However, the patient was elderly and the tumor did not in fact have characteristic findings of a solid pseudopapillary tumor, such as calcification or a combination of solid and cystic components.…”

“…Histopathological studies were performed as previously reported. 28 Briefly, tissues were fixed in 10% buffered formalin and embedded in paraffin. Three-micrometer-thick sections were stained with hematoxylin-eosin or analyzed for RBM5 expression via immunohistochemistry.…”
