Intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm.
A 75-year-old male with a history of dyslipidemia, no alcohol abuse, acute pericarditis and two pancreatitis episodes 16 and 3 years ago, consulted due to a new pancreatitis episode (amylase 536 IU/l). Abdominal CT and MRI showed irregular, rosary-like dilatation of the duct of Wirsung in the body and tail (Fig. 1). In the pancreatic body-tail, echoendoscopy revealed a 15-mm duct of Wirsung wit...
متن کاملMicroRNA expression levels as diagnostic biomarkers for intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm
Intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms (IPMNs) are deadly exocrine mucinous tumors. Currently the molecular features and diagnostic markers of IPMNs are not well understood. In this study, we performed microRNA (miRNA) profiling assays to study the potential roles of miRNAs in IPMNs using 78 cases of IPMN patients and controls. When comparing the miRNA expression between IPMN patient samples ...
متن کاملDirect peroral pancreatoscopy with an ultraslim endoscope for the evaluation of intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms.
benign and malignant intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms (IPMNs) of the pancreas and to determine their exact extent. Peroral pancreatoscopy including narrow-band imaging (NBI) is useful for the evaluation of these neoplasms [1,2], but it is technically difficult and requires two skilled endoscopists and endoscopic systems [3]. The ultraslim upper endoscope has been proposed for direct vis...
متن کاملfocus on the intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm of the pancreas
intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms (ipmns) are rare pancreatic tumours, accounting for less of 1-2% of all neoplasms of the gland. main characteristics of ipmns are their favourable prognosis as these pre-malignant or frankly malignant lesions are usually slow-growing tumours and radical surgery is frequently possible. according with the localization of the lesions, three different entiti...
متن کاملIdentification of intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm by esophagogastroduodenoscopy.
Some reports have described identification of intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm (IPMN) penetrating to the stomach by esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) [1–4]. However, it seems that detecting an IPMN from within a postoperative pancreatogastric fistula is very rare. A 71-year-old man presented with slight fever. Hehad ahistoryof acutepancreatitis and underwent cystogastrostomy for pancreati...
