• Abdominal Mass

  We report a case of a 32-year-old pregnant woman with a 7-month history of pain and a left upper quadrant abdominal mass. She arrived at the emergency department with exacerbation of her symptoms during week 15 of gestation. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  Javle et al. [23] found that palpable abdominal mass on presentation was significantly more in the malignant group (4/17 patients) than in the benign group (0/18 patients). [dx.doi.org]

  A 61 year old patient admitted to the Internal Medicine Ward 3 at Coimbra University Hospital presents with a volumous intra-abdominal mass in the left hypochondrium and microcytic anemia. [rihuc.huc.min-saude.pt]

• Hepatomegaly

  Physical examination may reveal jaundice, temporal wasting, peripheral lymphadenopathy, hepatomegaly, and ascites. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  Patients presenting with or developing advanced intra-abdominal disease may have ascites, a palpable abdominal mass, hepatomegaly from liver metastases, or splenomegaly from portal vein obstruction. [emedicine.medscape.com]

Here, we report a 69-year-old male patient with distal pancreatic mass incidentally found during a CT scan workup for a pulmonary nodule suspicious for metastatic prostate adenocarcinoma. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

The patient made an excellent recovery on anti-tuberculous treatment, and no evidence of a tumor was seen on a CT scan performed 6 months after the initiation of treatment. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

New studies examining neoadjuvant and adjuvant treatment of pancreatic cancer show some promise. The surgical treatment and palliation of pancreatic cancer continues to advance. [journals.lww.com]

Most of these lesions are benign or slow growing and the prognosis is significantly better than with pancreatic adenocarcinoma. [bcm.edu]

However, it s etiology still maintain discussions. AIM: To analyze it s clinical data, diagnosis and treatment. METHODS: A retrospective study of medical records of all patients treated from January 1997 until July 2015. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Etiology and risk factors The specific risk factors for pancreatic cancer are not as striking as those for other gastrointestinal (GI) malignancies, such as esophageal and gastric carcinomas. [web.archive.org]

The differences in rates of pancreatic cancer among countries, the changes in rates over time, and the increases among migrants moving from low-risk to high-risk areas suggest that other factors may also play an etiologic role. [dx.doi.org]

There have been advances in PNET diagnosis, tumor localization, and therapies in the last decade, and increased understanding of their pathophysiology is likely to be rewarded with new and emerging treatments for PNETs in the not too distant future. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

The aim of this study was to review the prevention and treatment of pancreatic fistula as performed by our department. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Because the outlook is so poor once a person develops pancreatic cancer, it's important to find ways to prevent it. [web.archive.org]

These tubes are strategically placed during surgery to decompress the stomach and prevent stress on the anastomosis sites. [medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com]

There is no sure way to prevent pancreatic cancer. Some risk factors such as age, gender, race, and family history can’t be controlled. But there are things you can do that might lower your risk. [cancer.org]
