Abstract
Objectives: Intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm (IPMN) in individuals with at least one first-degree relative with IPMN is defined as familial IPMN. However, few studies have reported on familial IPMN, its clinical characteristics, or the associated genetic factors.
Materials and methods: We report the case of a 58-year-old woman with multifocal IPMN and a mural nodule in the pancreatic body. The patient underwent a distal pancreatectomy and developed pancreatic head cancer 1 year and 6 months postoperatively. The patient had a family history of multifocal IPMN in her father. Therefore, a genetic predisposition to IPMN and pancreatic cancer was suspected. The patient was analyzed for germline variants, and the resected IPMN was subjected to immunohistochemical and somatic variant analyses.
Results: Next-generation sequencing revealed a heterozygous germline missense variant in exon 5 of MSH6 (c.3197A>G; Tyr1066Cys). The pathogenicity of this variant of uncertain significance was suspected based on multiple in silico analyses, and the same MSH6 variant was identified in the patient's father's colonic adenoma. The mural nodule in the pancreatic body was pathologically diagnosed as a high-grade IPMN with ossification and somatic KRAS and PIK3CA variants.
Conclusions: This case revealed a possible genetic factor for familial IPMN development and presented interesting clinicopathological findings.
期刊介绍:
Pancreas provides a central forum for communication of original works involving both basic and clinical research on the exocrine and endocrine pancreas and their interrelationships and consequences in disease states. This multidisciplinary, international journal covers the whole spectrum of basic sciences, etiology, prevention, pathophysiology, diagnosis, and surgical and medical management of pancreatic diseases, including cancer.
