IntroductionT here are great differences between the therapy for cystadenocarcinomas and benign pancreatic lesions. Early diagnosis is propitious to selecting the appropriate therapy, and may directly influence the prognosis.[1-4] Differential diagnosis between cystadenocarcinoma and benign pancreatic lesion is difficult, because they lack typical clinical symptoms in early stage. In the commonly used examinations, the specificity of B-ultrasonography (B-US) and CT is very poor; they are di… 相似文献

A 39-year-old woman was hospitalized with left hypochondralgia. Ultrasonography and abdominal computed tomography showed a cystic mass in the tail of the pancreas. Echo-guided aspiration of the cyst was performed, and a markedly elevated CA 19-9 level in the cystic fluid was found. A surgical operation was performed, and the tumor was radically resected. The pathologic diagnosis was papillary adenocarcinoma of the pancreas. Another case of pancreatic cystadenocarcinoma also had an extremely high cystic CA 19-9 level, whereas two cases with benign pancreatic cysts had very low cystic CA 19-9 levels. Moreover, positive localization of CA 19-9 in the cancerous tissue was clearly demonstrated by an immunohistochemical technique, indicating active secretion of CA 19-9 into the cyst, while CA 19-9 in the tissue of pancreatic cystadenoma was almost non-existent. Measurement of the CA 19-9 level in the cystic fluid might therefore be a valuable additional aid in the diagnosis of cystadenocarcinoma of the pancreas. 相似文献

The development of a cystadenocarcinoma from previously benign cystadenoma is controversial. Neither clinical nor biological factors have been described to explain this transformation. High levels of serum and cystic CEA and CA 19-9 seem to help in the diagnosis of cystadenoma but not cystadenocarcinoma. Definitive histological evaluation is the only means to discriminate malignant from benign cysts. We report a case of cystadenoma of the liver with very high cystic levels and normal serum levels of CEA and CA 19-9. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: Serous cystic neoplasms of the pancreas are uncommon tumors classified as microcystic adenomas. In this article, the authors report clinico-pathologic features of seven cases of macrocystic variant of the serous cystadenoma. METHODS: Seven patients (5 females and 2 males) with a diagnosis of cystic lesion of the pancreas were observed after 1995. Clinical, radiological, and pathologic features, including immunohistochemistry, were reported. Enzymes and tumor markers CEA, CA 19-9, CA 125, CA 15-3, CA 72-4, and mucin-like carcinoma-associated antigen (MCA) were investigated in the serum and cyst fluid of the patients. Cytology was also performed. RESULTS: Six patients were symptomatic complaining abdominal pain. All cases had radiologic evidence of unilocular cyst of the pancreas. The suspected diagnosis was consistent with mucinous cystic neoplasm. Serum tumor markers were all in the normal range. After surgery, pathology showed in all cases a cyst lined with cuboidal, periodic acid-Schiff (PAS)-positive epithelium, without mucin content or atypia. Minute microcysts were found surrounding the main cavity. Immunohistochemical stains were positive for cytokeratin, CA19-9, CA15-3, CA 72-4, and MCA. CEA was unexpressed. CA 125 in the cyst fluid were found elevated in three cases and CA 19-9 in three cases. Cytology was negative in all cases. CONCLUSION: When a unilocular pancreatic cyst is found, without history of pancreatitis and gallstones, having low serum tumor markers levels and negativity of CA 72-4 and MCA in the cyst fluid, the diagnosis of the macrocystic variant of the serous cystadenoma may be suggested. At present, the diagnosis is still based on pathological examination after cyst removal. 相似文献

Significances of serum level and immunohistochemical stain of CA19-9 in simple hepatic cysts and intrahepatic biliary cystic neoplasms] 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3

BACKGROUND/AIMS: In spite of various diagnostic modalities, biliary cystic neoplasms (biliary cystadenoma and cystadenocarcinoma) remain to be difficult to diagnose preoperatively. Recently, there are some reports that elevated CA19-9 level in serum and/or cystic fluid could be a useful finding in the differential diagnosis of biliary cystic neoplasm. This study aimed to evaluate the expression of CA19-9 and to elucidate its significances in intrahepatic biliary cystic neoplasms and simple hepatic cysts. METHODS: In 8 patients with biliary cystic neoplasms and 6 simple hepatic cysts, symptoms, radiologic and laboratory findings were reviewed retrospectively. In 5 biliary cystic neoplasms (4 biliary cystadenomas, 1 biliary cystadenocarcinoma) and 5 simple hepatic cysts, immunohistochemical stainings for CA19-9 were performed with formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissues. RESULTS: In 8 biliary cystic neoplasms, two cases were suspected as biliary cystadenoma preoperatively and 6 cases could not be distinguished from simple cysts or cholangiocarcinoma preoperatively. In 6 simple hepatic cysts, 3 cases were diagnosed preoperatively and 3 cases could not be distinguished from biliary cystadenoma or pancreatic pseudocyst preoperatively. Expression of CA19-9 in simple hepatic cysts and biliary cystic neoplasms were 80% in both groups. Expression of CA19-9 is not related to the elevated level of CA19-9 in serum. CONCLUSIONS: Our data suggests that the elevated level of CA19-9 in serum may not be helpful in the preoprative diagnosis of biliary cystic neoplasm. 相似文献

The diagnosis of hepatic cystadenoma is difficult with the conventional radiologic imaging. When these hepatobiliary cystic tumors are located in the left liver, Echoendoscopic ultrasound/Fine needle aspiration can help in the diagnosis by showing high levels of cystic CEA and CA 19-9 in a mucinous fluid. Definitive histological evaluation is assessed by the examination of the operative specimen. 相似文献

Cyst fluid analysis in the differential diagnosis of pancreatic cystic lesions: a pooled analysis 总被引:9,自引:0,他引:9
BACKGROUND: Pancreatic cystic tumors commonly include serous cystadenoma (SCA), mucinous cystadenoma (MCA), and mucinous cystadenocarcinoma (MCAC). A differential diagnosis with pseudocysts (PC) can be difficult. Radiologic criteria are not reliable. The objective of the study is to investigate the value of cyst fluid analysis in the differential diagnosis of benign (SCA, PC) vs. premalignant or malignant (MCA, MCAC) lesions. METHODS: A search in PubMed was performed with the search terms cyst, pancrea, and fluid. Articles about cyst fluid analysis of pancreatic lesions that contained the individual data of at least 7 patients were included in the study. Data of all individual patients were combined and were plotted in scatter grams. Cutoff levels were determined. RESULTS: Twelve studies were included, which comprised data of 450 patients. Cysts with an amylase concentration <250 U/L were SCA, MCA, or MCAC (sensitivity 44%, specificity 98%) and, thus, virtually excluded PC. A carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) <5 ng/mL suggested a SCA or PC (sensitivity 50%, specificity 95%). A CEA >800 ng/mL strongly suggested MCA or MCAC (sensitivity 48%, specificity 98%). A carbohydrate-associated antigen (CA) 19-9 <37 U/mL strongly suggested PC or SCA (sensitivity 19%, specificity 98%). Cytologic examination revealed malignant cells in 48% of MCAC (n = 111). DISCUSSION: Most pancreatic cystic tumors should be resected without the need for cyst fluid analysis. However, in asymptomatic patients, in patients with an increased surgical risk, and, in patients in whom there is a diagnostic uncertainty about the presence of a PC, cyst fluid analysis helps to determine the optimal therapeutic strategy. 相似文献

Summary
Background. Serous cystic neoplasms of the pancreas are uncommon tumors classified as microcystic adenomas. In this article, the authors
report clinico-pathologic features of seven cases of macrocystic variant of the serous cystadenoma.
Methods. Seven patients (5 females and 2 males) with a diagnosis of cystic lesion of the pancreas were observed after 1995. Clinical,
radiological, and pathologic features, including immunohistochemistry, were reported. Enzymes and tumor markers CEA, CA 19-9,
CA 125, CA 15-3, CA 72-4, and mucin-like carcinoma-associated antigen (MCA) were investigated in the serum and cyst fluid
of the patients. Cytology was also performed.
Results. Six patients were symptomatic complaining abdominal pain. All cases had radiologic evidence of unilocular cyst of the pancreas.
The suspected diagnosis was consistent with mucinous cystic neoplasm. Serum tumor markers were all in the normal range. After
surgery, pathology showed in all cases a cyst lined with cuboidal, periodic acid-Schiff (PAS)-positive epithelium, without
mucin content or atypia. Minute microcysts were found surrounding the main cavity. Immunohistochemical stains were positive
for cytokeratin, CA19-9, CA15-3, CA 72-4, and MCA. CEA was unexpressed. CA 125 in the cyst fluid were found elevated in three
cases and CA 19-9 in three cases. Cytology was negative in all cases.
Conclusion. When a unilocular pancreatic cyst is found, without history of pancreatitis and gallstones, having low serum tumor
markers levels and negativity of CA 72-4 and MCA in the cyst fluid, the diagnosis of the macrocystic variant of the serous
cystadenoma may be suggested. At present, the diagnosis is still based on pathological examination after cyst removal. 相似文献

Mucinous biliary cystadenoma with mesenchymal stroma: Expressions of CA 19-9 and carcinoembryonic antigen in serum and cystic fluid 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
Jau-Hong Lee Dar-Ren Chen Shin-Cheng Pang Yih-Shyoung Lai 《Journal of gastroenterology》1996,31(5):732-736
a case of mucinous biliary cystadenoma with mesenchymal stroma (CMS tumor) in a 64-year-old woman is reported. The patient
presented with acute abdominal pain and a palpable mass in the upper abdomen. Computed tomography and abdominal sonography
showed characteristic multilocular cysts in the left lobe of the liver. Serum CA 19-9 was elevated to 108 U/ml with normal
carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) and alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) levels. The levels of CA 19-9 and CEA in the cystic fluid were
high at 7430 U/ml and 576ng/ml, respectively. The serum CA 19-9 returned to 35 U/ml 4 weeks after tumor resection. These corresponding
findings of both tumor markers in the serum and cystic fluid imply that (1) CA 19-9 and CEA both exist in the epithelial component
of CMS tumors as evidenced by immunohistochemical stain, (2) serum CA 19-9 is a valuable marker in the diagnosis and monitoring
of CMS, and (3) in cystic fluid, there are more significantly high levels of CA 19-9 in CMS compared with levels in simple
cyst and polycystic liver disease. Therefore, measurement of CA 19-9 in cystic fluid and serum may be helpful in the differential
diagnosis of hepatic cystic lesions. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: Accurate assessment of pancreatic cystic neoplasms is imperative before selecting available treatment options, such as surgical resection, drainage, or conservative therapy. Available modalities, CT and magnetic resonance imaging, have been inconsistent in diagnosis. Reports involving EUS and cyst fluid analysis have been encouraging, including studies of EUS features and/or cyst fluid analysis, which may differentiate pancreatic cystic neoplasms. OBJECTIVE: To retrospectively determine cyst fluid characteristics that differentiate cystic neoplasms. DESIGN: Patient evaluation included (1) EUS features (reported elsewhere) and (2) cyst fluid analysis (carcinoembryonic antigen [CEA], carbohydrate antigen 19-9 [CA 19-9], amylase and lipase, viscosity [VIS], mucin stain, and cytology). Exclusion criteria included the following: intraductal papillary mucinous tumor lesions, bloody cyst aspirate, neuroendocrine tumors, and patients without surgical histopathology. SETTING: Pancreatic Biliary Center, St Luke's Medical Center, Milwaukee, Wisconsin. PATIENTS: A total of 102 patients (60 women, 42 men; age, 23-76 years) presented for evaluation of pancreatic cystic neoplasm; 71 underwent surgical resection. RESULTS: Seventy-one of 102 patients who underwent surgery presented the following histopathologic correlates: 23 pseudocysts (PC), 13 serous cystadenoma (SCyA), 21 mucinous cystadenoma (MCyA), and 14 mucinous cystadenocarcinoma (MCyA-CA). Cyst fluid analysis of these patients showed the following: VIS was lower in PC (mean, 1.3) and SCyA (1.27) when compared with MCyA (1.84) and MCyA-CA (1.9). All mucinous neoplasms had VIS >1.6, whereas only 2 mucinous cystic neoplasms (MCN) had VIS = 1.6 (both PC). The CEA level was significantly higher in MCyA (adenoma [878 ng/mL], carcinoma [27,581 ng/mL]) vs PC (189 ng/mL), and SCyA (121 ng/mL). Amylase levels were higher in PC (7210 U/L) compared with cystic neoplasm (SCyA, 679 U/L; MCyA, 1605 U/L; MCyA-CA, 569 U/L). CONCLUSIONS: Differential diagnosis of pancreatic cystic neoplasm is significantly enhanced by cyst fluid analysis. Elevated CEA (> or =480 ng/mL) and VIS (>1.6) accurately predict MCN from SCyA and PC. Malignant from benign MCN can be differentiated by CEA levels > or =6000 ng/mL. 相似文献

Background/objectivesDespite advances in imaging techniques, diagnosis and management of pancreatic cystic lesions still remains challenging. The objective of this study was to determine the utility of cyst fluid analysis (CEA, CA 19-9, CA 125, amylase, and cytology) in categorizing pancreatic cystic lesions, and in differentiating malignant from benign cystic lesions.MethodsA retrospective analysis of 68 patients with histologically and clinically confirmed cystic lesions was performed. Cyst fluid was obtained by surgical resection (n = 45) or endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine needle aspiration (EUS-FNA) (n = 23). Cyst fluid tumor markers and amylase were measured and compared between the cyst types.ResultsReceiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis of the tumor markers demonstrated that cyst fluid CEA provided the greatest area under ROC curve (AUC) (0.884) for differentiating mucinous versus non-mucinous cystic lesions. When a CEA cutoff value was set at 67.3 ng/ml, the sensitivity, specificity and accuracy for diagnosing mucinous cysts were 89.2%, 77.8%, and 84.4%, respectively. The combination of cyst fluid CEA content >67.3 ng/ml and cyst fluid CA 125 content >10.0 U/ml segregated 77.8% (14/18) of mucinous cystic neoplasms (MCNs) from other cyst subtypes. On the other hand, no fluid marker was useful for differentiating malignant versus benign cystic lesions. Although cytology (accuracy 83.3%) more accurately diagnosed malignant cysts than CEA (accuracy 65.6%), it lacked sensitivity (35.3%).ConclusionsOur results demonstrate that cyst fluid CEA can be a helpful marker in differentiating mucinous from non-mucinous, but not malignant from benign cystic lesions. A combined CEA and CA 125 approach may help segregate MCNs from IPMNs. 相似文献

Abstract: The distinction between hepatobiliary cystadenoma or cystadenocarcinoma and simple hepatic cyst complicated by intracystic hemorrhage may prove difficult to determine on the sole basis of clinical and radiological features because of the presence of intracystic structures and septations well-demonstrated by ultrasound examination in both situations. We investigated four patients with various types of hepatic cysts, in whom diagnostic difficulties led to further investigations. In this small group, CA 19–9 serum levels were abnormal only in the two patients with cystadenoma or cystadenocarcinoma. Cystic fluid CA 19–9 values were also five times higher in cystadenoma and cystadenocarcinoma than in other benign lesions. Our data thus suggest that the determination of serum and cyst fluid CA 19–9 may be of help in distinguishing between hemorrhagic simple cyst and cystadenoma or cystadenocarcinoma. 相似文献

OBJECTIVE: Preoperative diagnosis of cystic lesions of the pancreas remains difficult despite improvement in imaging modalities and cystic fluid analysis. The aim of our study was to assess the performance of endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) and EUS-guided fine needle aspiration (FNA) in the diagnosis of pancreatic cystic lesions. METHODS: Data from a series of 127 consecutive patients with pancreatic cystic lesions were prospectively studied. EUS and EUS-guided FNA were performed in all patients, and cystic material was used for cytological and histological analysis as well as for biochemical and tumor markers analysis. Performance of EUS diagnosis, biochemical and tumor markers, and FNA diagnosis were compared with the final histological diagnosis obtained at surgery or postmortem examination. Sixty-seven patients underwent surgery and therefore constituted our study group. RESULTS: EUS provided a tentative diagnosis in 113 cases (89%). Cytohistological FNA provided a diagnosis in 98 cases (77%). When the results of EUS and EUS-guided FNA were compared with the final diagnosis (67 cases), EUS correctly identified 49 cases (73%), whereas FNA correctly identified 65 cases (97%). Sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, and negative predictive value of EUS and EUS-guided FNA to indicate whether a lesion needed further surgery were 71% and 97%, 30% and 100%, 49% and 100%, and 40% and 95%, respectively. Carbohydrate antigen 19-9 > 50,000 U/ml had a 15% sensitivity and a 81% specificity to distinguish mucinous cysts from other cystic lesions, whereas it had a 86% sensitivity and a 85% specificity to distinguish cystadenocarcinoma from other cystic lesions. CONCLUSIONS: EUS-guided FNA is a valuable tool in the preoperative diagnostic assessment of pancreatic cystic lesions. 相似文献

Cystic pancreatic lesions involve a wide variety of pathological entities that include neoplastic and non-neoplastic lesions. The proper diagnosis, differentiation, and staging of these cystic lesions are considered a crucial issue in planning further management. There are great challenges for their diagnostic models. In our time, new emerging methods for this diagnosis have been discovered. Endoscopic ultrasonography-guided fine-needle aspiration cytology with chemical and molecular analysis of cyst fluid and EUS-guided fine needle-based confocal laser endomicroscopy, through the needle microforceps biopsy, and single-operator cho langioscopy/pancreatoscopy are promising methods that have been used in the diagnosis of cystic pancreatic lesions. Hereby we discuss the diagnosis of cystic pancreatic lesions and the benefits of various diagnostic models. 相似文献

OBJECTIVES: Macrocystic serous cystadenoma of the pancreas are benign lesions with sometimes difficult diagnostic issues. We aimed to describe clinicopathological and imaging features with cyst fluid analysis in a series of patients undergoing surgery for macrocystic serous cystadenoma. METHODS: Eight patients underwent pancreatic resection for a macrocystic lesion of the pancreas diagnosed on ultrasonography or CT. Endoscopic ultrasonography and preoperative fine-needle aspiration were performed in seven patients. Immunohistochemical analysis of the surgical specimen with antibodies to carcinoembryonic-antigen (CEA), carbohydrate antigen (CA) 19-9, estrogen receptor, and progesterone receptor antibodies was performed in all cases. RESULTS: Patients included seven women and one man, with a mean age of 48 yr. Lesions were incidentally discovered on ultrasonography in six patients and had a mean size of 3 cm (range, 1.5-5 cm). Endoscopic ultrasonography revealed millimetric cysts in three cases. In the seven aspirated cysts, cytological analysis was non-contributive, but biochemical analysis showed low content of CEA (< 5 ng/ml) and CA72.4 (< 40U/ml) in all but two. At histology, cysts were lined by clear cuboidal cells. They focally expressed CA19-9 but were negative for anti-CEA, antiestrogen receptor, and antiprogesterone receptor antibodies. Microscopic cysts in the wall of the lesions were demonstrated in five cases. CONCLUSIONS: Macrocystic serous cystadenoma is a particular variant of pancreatic serous cystadenoma. Endoscopic ultrasonography may be useful in detecting peripherally located millimetric cysts in unilocular lesions, and measurement of enzymes and tumor markers in cyst fluid may also contribute to the diagnosis showing low concentrations. 相似文献

Spontaneous rupture of a nonparasitic liver cyst complicated by intracystic hemorrhage 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5

A case of spontaneous rupture of simple liver cyst complicated by intracystic hemorrhage is described. This rare condition
was detected in a 61-year-old man who underwent left trisegmentectomy of liver under a suspected diagnosis of cystadenocarcinoma
because of elevated serum levels of carbohydrate antigen (CA) 19-9 and DUPAN 2, and the presence of an intracystic structure.
The resected specimen showed a benign liver cyst with intracystic hematoma and high levels of CA19-9 and DUPAN 2 in the cystic
fluid. It is suggested that cyst rupture may increase serum levels of tumor markers whose levels are high in the cystic fluid,
and that repeated observations of an intracystic structure may be the most reliable method to distinguish intracystic hemorrhage
from cystic neoplasm.

BACKGROUND & AIMS: Cysts of the pancreas display a wide spectrum of histology, including inflammatory (pseudocysts), benign (serous), premalignant (mucinous), and malignant (mucinous) lesions. Endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) may offer a diagnostic tool through the combination of imaging and guided, fine-needle aspiration (FNA). The purpose of this investigation was to determine the most accurate test for differentiating mucinous from nonmucinous cystic lesions. METHODS: The results of EUS imaging, cyst fluid cytology, and cyst fluid tumor markers (CEA, CA 72-4, CA 125, CA 19-9, and CA 15-3) were prospectively collected and compared in a multicenter study using histology as the final diagnostic standard. RESULTS: Three hundred forty-one (341) patients underwent EUS and FNA of a pancreatic cystic lesion; 112 of these patients underwent surgical resection, providing a histologic diagnosis of the cystic lesion (68 mucinous, 7 serous, 27 inflammatory, 5 endocrine, and 5 other). Receiver operator curve analysis of the tumor markers demonstrated that cyst fluid CEA (optimal cutoff of 192 ng/mL) demonstrated the greatest area under the curve (0.79) for differentiating mucinous vs. nonmucinous cystic lesions. The accuracy of CEA (88 of 111, 79%) was significantly greater than the accuracy of EUS morphology (57 of 112, 51%) or cytology (64 of 109, 59%) (P < 0.05). There was no combination of tests that provided greater accuracy than CEA alone (P < 0.0001). CONCLUSIONS: Of tested markers, cyst fluid CEA is the most accurate test available for the diagnosis of mucinous cystic lesions of the pancreas. 相似文献

Background and study aimspancreatic cysts are commonly found lesions and proper diagnosis is very important for planning further management. The study aims to evaluate the role of cyst fluid amylase and tumour markers as cancer antigen (CA 19-9) and carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) in addition to mucin stain in diagnosing pancreatic cysts and differentiating malignant from benign lesions.Patients and methodsThis prospective study was conducted on 184 patients diagnosed to have pancreatic cystic lesions from January 2013 to January 2018. Fluid analysis for CA 19-9, CEA, amylase, mucin stain and cytopathology were done. We compared these data with the final diagnosis based on histopathology after surgical resection, positive cytopathology and long period of follow up of the patients for at least 18 months.ResultsThe highest AUC was that of cystic CEA with cut-off value of 160 ng/ml; it had a sensitivity of 60.4% and a specificity of 85%. The best cut-off value for cystic CA 19-9 was 1318 U/ml with a sensitivity of 64.1% and a specificity of 68.1%. The cut-off value of cyst amylase level was 5500 U/L, with 84.2% sensitivity and 37.1% specificity. The sensitivity of mucin stain in detecting mucinous cystic neoplasm was 85.45%, specificity was 86.05% with accuracy 85.87%.ConclusionCyst fluid analysis by investigating amylase, mucin, CA 19-9, CEA and EUS examination improves the diagnosis of different pancreatic cysts. 相似文献

AIM: To assess the diagnostic accuracy of endoscopic ultrasound (EUS), fluid tumor markers and cytology in distinguishing benign from (pre)malignant pancreatic cystic lesions.
METHODS: 46 consecutive patients, referred to a gastroenterologist and surgeon for a symptomatic or incidental pancreatic cyst, were reviewed. EUS, cytology, and carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) and carbohydrate antigen (CA 19-9) levels were compared with the final diagnosis, based on surgical pathology and/or imaging follow-up of at least 12 mo. Cysts were classified as benign (pseudocyst, serous cystadenoma) or malignant/ pre-malignant (mucinous cystic neoplasm). Receiver- operator characteristics (ROC) curve analysis was performed. RESULTS: The mean age was 56 years; 29% were male and median cyst diameter was 3 cm. Final outcome was obtained in 41 (89%) patients. Twenty-three (56%) of these 41 had surgical pathology. Twenty-three (56%) had benign lesions and 18 (44%) had malignant/premalignant lesions. Sensitivity, specificity and positive and negative predictive value of EUS alone to distinguish benign from malignant/premalignant pancreatic cystic lesions were 50%, 56%, 36% and 54% and for cytology were 71%, 96%, 92% and 85%, respectively. The corresponding values for the ROC-derived ideal cutoffs were 75%, 90%, 75%, 90% for CA 19-9 (〉 37 U/mL) and 70%, 85%, 79% and 78% for CEA (〉 3.1 ng/mL). Subgroup analysis of those with surgical pathology yielded almost identical performance and cutoffs.
CONCLUSION: Cytology and cyst fluid tumor marker analysis is a very useful tool in distinguishing benign from (pre)malignant pancreatic cystic lesions. 相似文献

Cystic tumors of the liver: A practical approach 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Biliary cyst tumors (cystadenoma and cystadenocarcinoma) are an indication for liver resection. They account for only 5% of all solitary cystic lesions of the liver, but differential diagnosis with multiloculated or complicated biliary cysts, atypical hemangiomas, hamartomas and lymphangiomas may be difficult. The most frequent challenge is to differentiate biliary cyst tumors from hemorrhagic cysts. Computerized tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are often not diagnostic and in these cases fine needle aspiration (FNA) is used to confirm the presence of atypical biliary cells. FNA, however, lacks adequate sensitivity and specificity and should always be used in conjunction with imaging. Pre-operative differentiation of cystadenoma from cystadenocarcinoma is impossible and surgery must be performed if a biliary cyst tumor is suspected. When multiple cystic lesions are observed throughout the liver parenchyma, it is important to exclude liver metastasis, of which colonic cancer is the most common primary site. Multiple biliary hamartomas (von Meyenburg complex) can appear as a mixture of solid and cystic lesions and can be confused with cystic metastasis. Strong and uniform T2 hyperintensity on MRI is usually diagnostic, but occasionally a percutaneous biopsy may be required. 相似文献
