Abstract
Introduction: Pancreatic metastases are rare tumors representing about 2-5% of pancreatic malignant conditions. The most common origin is renal cell carcinoma, while metastases with other (non-renal) origins are much rarer. Patients and Method: Fifteen patients with non-renal pancreatic metastases were resected in our center. The postoperative immunohistochemical examination demonstrated their primary non-pancreatic origin. The patients were radiologically assessed and diagnosed with isolated metastatic or oligometastatic disease, which allowed pancreatic resection. Results: Fifteen patients with various types of cancer (3 - colorectal, 3 - bile duct, 2 - uterine, 2 - retroperitoneal, 2 - melanomas, 2 - ovarian, 1 - pheochromocytoma) were included. Five metastases were synchronous and 10 were metachronous. Their location was cephalic â?" 9 patients and distal â?" 6. Standard pancreatic resections (9 pancreaticoduodenectomies and 4 distal splenopancreatectomies) were performed, as well as limited (2 central pancreatectomies). Twelve patients survived postoperatively; death occurred in 3 patients. Neoplastic recurrence occurred in 9 patients â?" resection was possible in two of them. Currently, only three patients are alive, without relapse. Conclusions: Pancreatic resection for non-renal pancreatic metastases is indicated in certain selected cases, in the context of the multidisciplinary oncological approach.
期刊介绍:
Chirurgia is a bimonthly journal. In Chirurgia, original papers in the area of general surgery which neither
appeared, nor were sent for publication in other periodicals, can be published. You can send original articles,
new surgical techniques, or comprehensive general reports on surgical topics, clinical case presentations and,
depending on publication space, - reviews of some articles of general interest to surgeons from other publications.
Chirurgia is also a place for sharing information about the activity of various branches of the Romanian Society of
Surgery, information on Congresses and Symposiums organized by the Romanian Society of Surgery and
participation notes in other scientific meetings.
Letters to the editor: Letters commenting on papers published in Chirurgia are welcomed. They should contain
substantive ideas and commentaries supported by appropriate data, and should not exceed 2 pages. Please
submit these letters to the editor through our online system.
