Case report: composite pancreatic intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm and neuroendocrine tumor: a new mixed neuroendocrine-non-neuroendocrine neoplasm?
Abstract Background Mixed neuroendocrine-non-neuroendocrine neoplasms (MiNEN) of the pancreas are extremely rare. Their pathogenesis and molecular landscape are largely unknown. Here, we report a case of mixed pancreatic intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm (IPMN) and well-differentiated neuroend...

Their pathogenesis and molecular landscape are largely unknown. Here, we report a case of mixed pancreatic intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm (IPMN) and well-differentiated neuroendocrine tumor (NET) and identify its genetic alterations by next-generation sequencing (NGS). Case presentation A fifty-year-old male was admitted into the hospital for evaluation of a pancreatic lesion detected during a routine examination. Abdominal ultrasound indicated a hypoechoic mass of 2.6 cm at the head of the pancreas. Malignancy was suspected and partial pancreatectomy was performed. Thorough histopathological examination revealed a mixed IPMN-NET. In some areas, the two components were relatively separated, whereas in other areas IPMN and NET grew in a composite pattern: The papillae were lined with epithelial cells of IPMN, and there were clusters of NET nests in the stroma of papillary axis. NGS revealed shared somatic mutations (KRAS, PCK1, MLL3) in both components. The patient has been uneventful 21 months after the surgery. Conclusions Our case provides evidence of a common origin for mixed IPMN-NET with composite growth features. Our result and literature review indicate that KRAS mutation might be a driver event underlying the occurrence of MiNEN. We also recommend the inclusion of mixed non-invasive exocrine neoplasms and neuroendocrine neoplasms into MiNEN.Jingci ChenPengyan WangKe LvWeixun ZhouBMCarticleMiNENCompositeKRASCase reportPathologyRB1-214ENDiagnostic Pathology, Vol 16, Iss 1, Pp 1-8 (2021) |
