Lesson 3.2 - Panc Path Neoplasms Flashcards
neoplasms of panc (4)
- periampullary
- cystic
- pseudopapillary
- endocrine, lipoma, mets
jaundice is the most important presentation for what type of neoplasm?
periampullary
how are periampullary neoplasms managed
Whipples Procedure (pancreaticoduodenectomy)
periampullary neoplasms include subcategories (4)
- ductal adenocarcinoma
- ampullary carcinoma
- duodenal carcinoma
- distal cholangiocarcinoma
most common primary pancreatic neoplasm
pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma
ductal adenocarcinoma RF (8)
male older age smoking, obesity, diabetes chronic pancreatitis cirrhosis fam history
classic S/S ductal adenocarcinoma (3)
jaundice
pain
weight loss
urine dark, stools pale
ductal adenocarcinoma sign
where do most periampullar adenocarcinomas originate in the panc
the head
double duct sign associated with
ductal periampullar adenocarcinoma
what can ductal periampullar adenocarcinoma lead to
if cancer originates in the head, can lead to Courvoisier GB
what is Courvoisier GB
obstruction to CBD causing enlarged GB and jaundice
what is the first thing we consider with treating periampullar cancer
if it can be resected (if over 2 cm or extension/vascular invasion, lymphadenopathy, then no resection)
what is whipples procedure
removal of head, uncinate, GB, CBD,
distal stomach, duodenum, part of jejunem,
anastomosis of CHD, remaining panc, stomach –> jejunem is the result
t/f cystic neoplasms can be benign or malignant
true
the majority of cystic neoplasms are
pseudocysts
ominous signs of cystic panc lesions (5)
symptomatic pts growth diameter >3cm internal soft tissue mural/septal thickening
