AI Article Synopsis
- A 64-year-old woman experienced abdominal pain and weight loss, leading to diagnostic imaging that uncovered two distinct pancreatic tumors.
- A pancreatic head mass was identified as adenocarcinoma, while a second mass in the tail was found to be a nonfunctional neuroendocrine tumor.
- Due to the advanced stage of the unresectable adenocarcinoma, the patient was placed on chemotherapy treatment.
Article Abstract
We report a simultaneous occurrence of pancreatic adenocarcinoma and pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor. A 64-year-old woman presented with abdominal pain and weight loss. Abdominal computed tomography revealed a pancreatic head mass with a mesenteric artery encasement. Endoscopic ultrasound revealed a second mass in the tail of the pancreas. Pathology reported adenocarcinoma of the head of the pancreas and a neuroendocrine tumor in the tail of the pancreas. The neuroendocrine tumor was nonfunctional, with no symptoms or signs present on assessment. The patient had advanced unresectable carcinoma, so she was treated with chemotherapy.

Introduction: With the use of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) and targeted therapies, the clinical outcomes of metastatic melanoma have drastically improved. The current scenario has reduced the use of chemotherapy as a first-line treatment. We report an interesting case of a patient with stage IV ano-rectal canal malignant melanoma with an exceptional response to single-agent temozolomide.

Introduction: Nonfunctioning pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (NF-PNETs) have been diagnosed increasingly often but still represent rare pancreatic neoplasms. Surgery is a potentially curative approach for patients with NF-PNETs. In recent years, minimally invasive surgery (MIS) has been applied more frequently for surgical resection of NF-PNETs.

Introduction: A diagnosis of melanoma in situ presents negligible risk to a person's lifespan or physical well-being, but existing terminology makes it difficult for patients to distinguish these from higher risk invasive melanomas. This study aims to explore whether using an alternative label for melanoma in situ may influence patients' management choices and anxiety levels.
Methods And Analysis: This study is a between-subjects randomised online experiment, using hypothetical scenarios.

Background: Melanoma is a highly aggressive skin cancer, where early and accurate diagnosis is crucial to improve patient outcomes. Dermoscopy, a non-invasive imaging technique, aids in melanoma detection but can be limited by subjective interpretation. Recently, machine learning and deep learning techniques have shown promise in enhancing diagnostic precision by automating the analysis of dermoscopy images.

A 78-year-old male patient came to our hospital with a chief complaint of fever. Computed tomography revealed an indistinct tumor in the pancreatic head, along with dilatation of the bile duct and main pancreatic duct. An endoscopic transpapillary biopsy demonstrated adenocarcinoma in the glandular epithelium and a dense formation of quasi-round cells.
