Objectives: To evaluate the role of applying a limited panel of immunohistochemical stains on the cellblock preparation from samples obtained by endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine needle aspiration (EUS-FNA) in the aim of differentiating solid pseudopapillary neoplasms (SPNs) from neuroendocrine tumors (NETs).
Methods: We retrospectively retrieved all the EUS-FNAs of the pancreas that have a diagnosis of NET or SPN that were performed at 2 tertiary care hospitals in Riyadh, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia from May 2004 to December 2014. Diff-Quik, Papanicolaou, and Immunohistochemistry stains on cellblock preparations were performed.

Article Synopsis
- A 27-year-old man with recent-onset type 1 diabetes presented with acute abdominal pain and elevated serum levels indicative of pancreatic issues, but no biliary obstruction.
- CT scan findings and high serum IgG4 levels led to a diagnosis of autoimmune pancreatitis, with celiac disease also identified upon further testing.
- Treatment included steroids and a gluten-free diet, resulting in improved liver function, weight gain, and better glycemic control, with pancreatic issues resolved in follow-up imaging after 3 months.
