A case of large serous cystadenocarinoma of the pancreas in 56-year-old woman is reported. The patient was admitted with uncharacteristic complaints concerning the epigastrium lasting several months. A preoperative computed tomografy (CT) scan disclosed a large pathological lesion with a diameter of 10 x 9 cm in the head of the pancreas, putting pressure on the vena cava inferior and the right renal vein. A pancreatoduodenectomy was duly performed (Longmire-Traverso operation). The common bile duct and residual pancreas were anastomosed with a segment of the small bowel. The postoperative course was uneventful and the patient is currently doing well, without evidence of recurrence or metastasis 8 months after surgery. Serous cystadenocarcinoma of the pancreas is a rare neoplasm with a relatively good prognosis. Pancreatic resection is the treatment of choice. Complete resection has a favorable prognosis with a low probability of recurrence. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
