Pancreas Flashcards
Pancreatic cyst, pigmented histiocytes, low viscosity, high amylase, low CEA, KRAS neg; dx and distribution
Pseudocyst, evenly
Pancreatic cyst, acid Schiff+, low viscosity, low amylase, low CEA, KRAS neg; dx and distribution
Serous Cystadenoma, evenly
Pancreatic cyst, mucinous, increased viscosity, low amylase, high CEA, KRAS positive; dx and distribution
Mucinous Cyst Neoplasm, Tail
Pancreatic cyst, mucinous, high viscosity, high amylase, high CEA, KRAS pos; dx and distribution
IPMN, Head
Palpable abdominal mass, 6cm pancreatic head, , weight loss, fevers, elevated LDH, normal CA 19-9; dx and tx
Primary pancreatic lymphoma, CHOP or R-CHOP
Indication for IMV ligation during pancreatectomy
If it enters the splenic vein to the right of the lesion
Pancreatic duct ≥ 7 mm (normal diameter 3.5 mm) without enlarged pancreatic head; surgical tx and describe
Longitudinal pancreatojejunostomy (Puestow procedure)
Pancreatic head/ampullary mass; surgical tx and description
Pancreaticoduodenectomy (Whipple procedure)
Enlarged pancreatic head with normal caliber pancreatic duct; surgical tx and description
Duodenal sparing pancreatic head resection (Beger procedure)
Dilated pancreatic duct due to obstruction from enlarged pancreatic head; surgical tx and description
Lateral pancreatojejunostomy with local pancreatic head resection (Frey procedure)
Approach to infected pancreatic necrosis
Step Up
Step Up approach
1 - FNA for gram stain/culture + Carbapenem
2 - Perc drainage with upsizing PRN
3 - VARD (video assist retroperitoneal debride)
4 - Necrosectomy (endo vs lap vs open)
Persistent pancreatic pseudocyst not amenable to endo or perc tx
Lap or open cystojejunostomy
Infiltrate vascular, lymphatic and perineural space and account for more than 75% of non-endocrine pancreatic cancers
Ductal adenocarcinoma
Sudden hematemesis or bloody drain output s/p pancreatic debridement; next step
CT angio
