Background/Aims: The vast majority of serous cystic neoplasms of the pancreas are benign, and small, asymptomatic lesions, which are generally managed with observation. However, some of these tumors may attain a large size and occasionally metastasize. Methods: In this study, we present a 78-year-old man with serous cystadenocarcinoma of the pancreas with liver metastases treated by distal pancreatectomy and liver ablation, who went on to develop new liver metastases 5 years after the initial operation. We perform a literature review to determine the number of these malignant neoplasms previously reported and to identify features associated with malignant lesions. Results: Literature reveals that metastatic serous cystadenocarcinomas of the pancreas are rare tumors, occurring in less than 3% of cases of serous cystic neoplasms. All malignant cases reported have been in tumors >4 cm in size. Conclusions: Serous cystic neoplasms of the pancreas >4 cm have malignant potential and therefore should be considered for surgical management.

Malignant pancreatic serous cystic neoplasms: systematic review with a new case

et al. 2016

BackgroundThis study analyzes the clinicopathologic and radiologic characteristics of malignant serous cystic neoplasm (SCN) of the pancreas through systematic review and an institutional case report.MethodsA comprehensive literature search was performed in the MEDLINE database to identify studies on malignant SCNs of the pancreas that had detailed clinicopathologic and radiologic information. A computerized systematic search of our institutional database was also performed to identify cases of malignant SCN for addition to the systematic review. Using the final included cases, we analyzed the clinicopathologic and radiologic features of malignant SCNs of the pancreas.ResultsA review of 136 candidate articles identified 26 studies with 26 cases that had detailed clinical information. Our institutional data search added one case. The systematic review of the 27 cases revealed that primary tumors (mean diameter 10.2 ± 4.0 cm) mainly involved the body and tail of the pancreas (n = 16) and frequently invaded adjacent organs (n = 19). Distant metastases occurred in 14 patients (synchronous, n = 5; metachronous, n = 8; both, n = 1), most commonly in the liver (n = 13). Imaging features of malignant SCNs of the pancreas were identical to the benign counterpart, except local invasion or distant metastases. The prognosis was excellent in that 17 were alive at the time of writing with a median follow-up period of 2 years.ConclusionsThe malignant potential of SCNs of the pancreas should be considered in the diagnosis and management of patients with pancreatic SCNs.
