چکیده
Ascarias lumbricoides infestation is endemic in tropical countries. Most infections are asymptomatic, but it can produce a wide spectrum of manifestations including hepatobiliary and pancreatic complications. There are reports of association of biliary ascariasis with bilary malignancies in the past, but same is not known for pancreatic ascariasis. We report a case of association of periampullary malignancy with pancreatic ascariasis.

An Unusually Prolonged Survival in Metastatic Periampullary Pancreatic Adenocarcinoma
Periampullary Cancer is the term used for neoplasms arising from the head of pancreas, ampulla of Vater, distal bile duct and periampullary region of duodenum. Of these, the pancreatic adenocarcinoma carries the worst prognosis with majority of mortalities within the first year. The overall 5 year survival is less than 3%. Studies have shown that pancreatic carcinoma has the shortest median sur...

BACKGROUND The early determination of premalignant lesions of pancreas can prevent unnecessary excessive surgical procedures and can reduce morbidity and mortality. Pancreatic intraepithelial neoplasia-3 (PanIN-3) is a preinvasive form of adenocarcinoma (carcinoma in situ). PanINs have not taken place in the literature of radiology yet, it should be considered in differential diagnosis of pancr...

BACKGROUND Free tumour cells in the peritoneal cavity of patients with pancreatic carcinoma carry a poor prognosis. Reactive or degenerative mesothelial cells can make cytological interpretation with conventional stains difficult. Detection of the tumour-associated antigens carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) and CA19-9 may improve detection. METHODS At staging laparoscopy, 22 patients with pancre...

OBJECTIVE The majority of the tumors in periampullary region are pancreatic and ampulla of Vater carcinomas. The aim of this study was to compare histopathological features of ampulla of Vater carcinomas with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinomas and to determine diagnostic and predictive values of p16 protein and cyclin D1 expression. MATERIAL AND METHOD Tissue samples from pancreatic ductal ade...
