Obstructive jaundice caused by secondary pancreatic tumor from malignant solitary fibrous tumor of pleura: A case report

Abstract: A 77-year-old man on systemic chemotherapy against postoperative bilateral multiple lung metastases of malignant solitary fibrous tumor of the pleura suffered from pruritus and jaundice. Blood examination showed elevated levels of hepatobiliary enzymes. Abdominal computed tomography showed a tumor with peripheral enhancement in the pancreatic head, accompanied with the dilatation of intra-and extra-hepatic bile ducts. He was diagnosed as having obstructive jaundice caused by a pancreatic head tumor. The pancre… Show more

“…The KRAS oncogene frequently undergoes mutation, mainly at codon 12 and occasionally at codons 61 and 13, leading to alterations in 90% of pancreatic cancer cells, with 20% of these affecting the entire body. This mutated oncogene exerts negative effects on cell survival and functions, including cell differentiation and proliferation [ 55 ]. A mutation in KRAS induces the development of ductal precancerous formations and triggers hyperplastic multifocal focus in the pancreatic duct.…”
