A lymphoepithelial cyst (LEC) of the pancreas is a benign and rare lesion that is difficult to diagnose preoperatively based on imaging studies.We report a case of a 49-year-old man who presented with weight loss and diarrhea. The serum carcinoembryonic The majority of pancreatic cysts are detected incidentally when abdominal imaging is performed during unrelated procedures. The aim of the present study was to assess the diagnostic utility and clinical value of carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (CA 19-9) and amylase analysis
OBJECTIVE
Pancreatic cysts are being detected more frequently with advances in abdominal imaging. We designed this study to identify the characteristics of pancreatic cysts upon long-term follow-up and to define the proper management of them.
METHODS
We identified 1386 patients diagnosed with
A 53-year-old woman was admitted with upper abdominal discomfort. Clinical examination revealed a mass of the upper left quadrant. Computed tomography disclosed a giant cystic lesion of 19 x 16 cm compressing the body and tail of the pancreas as well as the left kidney. Endoscopic ultrasound showed
The levels of carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), elastase 1, and carbohydrate antigen determinant (CA 19-9) in the pancreatic cystic fluid and the serum from five patients with cystadenocarcinoma of the pancreas, one patient with retention cyst due to pancreatic carcinoma, three patients with
Recent studies have reported that pancreatic ductal carcinomas are frequently found during the follow-up of pancreatic cysts distinct from carcinoma; however, the majority of them are detected in advanced stages. Therefore, the early detection of metachronous ductal carcinomas is one of the issues
We sought to determine if interleukin (IL)-1β and prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) (inflammatory mediators in pancreatic fluid) together with serum carbohydrate antigen (CA) 19-9 could better predict intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm (IPMN) dysplasia than individual biomarkers We reviewed 106 consecutive patients with cysts or pseudocysts of the pancreas associated with pancreatitis. A pancreatic fluid collection (PFC) was defined as a limited collection containing pancreatic juice either pure or with pus or blood. Seventy-seven patients presented with chronic
The differential diagnosis of cystic neoformations in the pancreas is challenging. We report a case of a true solitary cyst of the pancreas in a 26-year old woman. Abdominal magnetic resonance imaging and computed tomography showed a unilocular neoformation in the head of the pancreas, without
UNASSIGNED
With improvements in imaging technologies, pancreatic cystic lesions (PCLs) have been increasingly identified in recent years. However, the imaging modalities used to differentiate the categories of pancreatic cysts remain limited, which may cause confusion when planning treatment. Due to
OBJECTIVE
Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) with fine-needle aspiration (FNA) for cyst fluid analysis (CFA) is often requested for pancreatic cystic lesions, to determine whether to operate or to observe. If this decision is not influenced by the EUS findings, the procedure may be unjustifiable. We aimed
The patient was a 61-year-old man. Computed tomography(CT)in April 2007 revealed a pancreatic cyst in the tail of the pancreas. Rapid enlargement was noted in November 2007, and the patient was referred to the surgery department. CT showed a cystic lesion containing a nodular shadow in the
Lymphoepithelial cyst of the pancreas, formerly also termed branchial cyst, is an extremely rare tumor of uncertain histogenesis. Our case, that of a 53-year-old man, is the fourth to be described. Fluid aspirated from the cyst exhibited a very high concentration of carcino-embryonic antigen (CEA;
An extremely rare case of a lymphoepithelial cyst associated with persistent elevation of serum carbohydrate antigen (CA) 19-9 levels is described. A 72-year-old man was incidentally found to have a cystic tumor in the uncus of the pancreas and to have a high serum CA 19-9 level. At 2-year follow
