AI Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to analyze the characteristics of incidental pancreatic lesions found during surgeries from 1995 to 2018.
- Out of 100 cases, 64 were solid and 36 were cystic lesions, with a high diagnostic accuracy of 88.7% from cytological analysis.
- The research indicated that disease-free survival rates varied among types of tumors: 100% for cystic, 79% for neuroendocrine, and 57.7% for adenocarcinomas, suggesting the need for treatment in specialized centers.
Article Abstract
Objective: the objective of the present study was to analyze the characteristics of resected incidental lesions of the pancreas.
Material And Methods: a retrospective study was performed of pancreatectomies due to incidentalomas between 1995 and 2018.
Results: one hundred pancreatectomies were performed due to incidental lesions; 64 (64%) were solid and 36 (36%) were cystic lesions. The cytological analysis agreed with the diagnosis in 67/71 (88.7%) cases. Thirty-six tumors were cystic, 48 were neuroendocrine and 16 were adenocarcinomas. Disease-free survival for patients with cystic, neuroendocrine tumors and adenocarcinomas was 100%, 79% and 57.7% (p < 0.04).
Conclusion: pancreatic incidentalomas have a heterogeneous phenotype and should be treated in experienced centers.
