Tumor Size and Location Correlate With Behavior of Pancreatic Serous Cystic Neoplasms

Abstract: We describe the largest case series of patients with pathologically proven SCNs. CT performed poorly in preoperative diagnosis of SCNs. Large tumor size and head location predicted aggressive behavior. These factors should be considered in the management of patients with SCN.

“…11 The gender distribution of SPN is similar to that of MCNs in that over 89 % of SPN occur in women, [12][13][14] making this diagnosis far less likely in men. SPN classically occur in young women, with a median age of 21-33, much younger than that of SCA or MCN.…”

“…8,11,20,21 Aside from the development of SCAC, there is a small risk of patients developing what has been termed a "locally aggressive" SCA, and there may be a slight increased risk of malignancy in this subset. The largest series on this topic reported the risk of aggressive behavior, defined as local invasion, to occur in 5.1 % of patients undergoing resection of SCA.…”

“…The management depends commonly on clinical presentation, tumor size and patient's general condition such as the age and co-morbidities. According to Kashab et al [89], large tumor size and head location predicted aggressive behavior, therefore these two factors should be considered in SCA management. Small and asymptomatic tumors in elderly patients with co-morbidities (that make the preoperative risk higher) do not require surgery, but these patients should be carefully observed including a least TUS every 6 to 12 months.…”
