Pancreatic cancer in patient with groove pancreatitis: Potential pitfalls in diagnosis.
Radiology Case Reports 2022 December
Pancreatic cancer is among the leading causes of cancer death in the United States of America. Early detection and intervention are critical as a large majority of patients have either local or distant metastatic disease at the time of diagnosis. However, groove pancreatitis, a rare form of chronic pancreatitis, presents as a challenge for adequate and efficient differential diagnosis of pancreatic cancer as a result of similar clinical symptoms and imaging features. Furthermore, intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms and pancreatic intraepithelial neoplasia are 2 of the precursor lesions that have been identified with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma. Intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms are cystic tumors of the pancreas characterized by excessive mucin production in either the main pancreatic duct or its branches. Conversely, pancreatic intraepithelial neoplasia are microscopic lesions in the smaller pancreatic ducts. In this article, we report the case of a 46-year-old male with a diagnosis of groove pancreatitis, main duct intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm, and pancreatic intraepithelial neoplasia whose tumor was excised by means of a Whipple procedure. We focus on optimizing diagnosis and treatment through the application of radiological modalities.
