16
Q

Distal panc

A

For mostly distal strictured disease

17
Q

Minimal change panc

A

Resection/drainage won’t help
Need denervation
Bilateral thoracoscopic splantenectomy

18
Q

Panc pseudocyst

A

Non nec > 4 wks
More common in chronic panc patients
Manage expectantly for 6 wks -> mature or resolve
If enlarging, symptomatic or > 6 cm then intervene

19
Q

Panc pseudocyst surgical intervention

A

1st: Pre-op ERCP or MRCP to assess duct
2nd: Transpapillary endoscopic stenting, Endoscopic transluminal drainage, Open cystgastromstomy, Lap cystgastrostomy

20
Q

PNETs

A

Most found incidentally on CT, then need panc triple phase CT or MRI
EUS -> FNA -> Analyze for CEA and amylase levels

21
Q

Mucinous cyst

A

CEA > 190

22
Q

Pseudocyst

A

Amylase high -> ductal communication

23
Q

Serocystadenoma

A

Low CEA
Benign
Well circumscribed, central stellate scar
Do not need resection

24
Q

Mucinous cystic neoplasm

A
Malignant potential
Thick walled
Cyst with internal septations
CEA > 190, mucin in aspirate
Tx: Must resect
25
Q

IPMN

A

3 groups
Main duct
Branch duct
Mixed type

26
Q

Main duct IPMN

A

Higher risk of malignancy
Fishmouth papilla on endoscopy
Must resect
Tx mixed type the same

27
Q

Branch duct IPMN

A

Lower risk of malignancy
Decision to resect: Fitness of patient, Cyst > 3 cm, Thickened wall, non-enhancing mural nodules, lymphadenopathy, main duct > 10 cm

28
Q

Daughter
Mother
Grandaughter

A

Daughter: Solid pseudopapillary
Mother: Mucinous
Grandmother: Serous

29
Q

MC PNET

A

Non functional tumor

30
Q

MC functional PNET

A

Insulinoma

31
Q

Non function PNET

A

Malignant
Discovered late due to asymptomatic
Usually large, in head of panc and having some mass effect when found

32
Q

Insulinoma

A

Benign
Throughout panc - even distribution
Whipple’s triad

33
Q

Whipple’s triad

A

Neuroglycopenic symptoms
High insulin
Resolution of symptoms with administration of glucose

34
Q

Dx of insulinoma

A
S/S
Insulin > 18
Glucose < 55
C-peptide > 6
B hydroxy biutyrate < 2.7
Inc plasma glucose by 25 with glucagon
Negative urine test for oral hypoglycemic
35
Q

Tx:

A

Localize: Triphasic panc CT or MRI, EUS, or if cannot localize -> Intrarterial Ca injection and hepatic vein sampling.
Somatostatin scintography is not helpful
Solitary/Benign -> enucleate
Distal -> Distal panc/splenectomy

36
Q

Gastrinom

A

Mostly malignant

In gastrinoma triangle
