Beyond Solid Pancreatic Mass Lesions: Liver, Lymphoma, Sarcoidosis, and Others

چکیده
Introduction Since Vilmann et al. published the initial report of EUS‐FNA of the pancreas in 1992, this technique has become widely used to reliably obtain specimens from lesions around the gastrointestinal tract. The major target lesions of EUS‐FNA are pancreatic masses, upper abdominal lymph nodes, and upper gastrointestinal submucosal tumors. Recently, however, the target lesions of EUS‐FNA are expanding to various other organs and diseases.

Multimodality imaging of neoplastic and nonneoplastic solid lesions of the pancreas.
Solid lesions of the pancreas represent a heterogeneous group of entities that can be broadly classified as either neoplastic or nonneoplastic. Neoplastic lesions include pancreatic adenocarcinoma, pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor, solid pseudopapillary tumor, pancreatoblastoma, pancreatic lymphoma, metastases to the pancreas, and rare miscellaneous neoplasms. Nonneoplastic lesions include focal...

متن کاملPRIMARY PANCREATIC LYMPHOMA: A CASE REPORT AND LITERATURE REVIEW
Primary pancreatic lymphoma is a rare extranodal manifestation of any histopathologic subtype of B cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma that predominantly involves the pancreas. It comprises less than 0.2% of pancreatic malignancies and less than 0.7% of non-Hodgkin's lymphomas. This lymphoma is almost never suspected clinically. It is usually diagnosed by surgical exploration for suspected adenoca...
متن کاملSymptomatic pancreatic sarcoidosis. Case report and review of literature.
CONTEXT Symptomatic pancreatic involvement in sarcoidosis is extremely rare. There are 25 reported cases of detected pancreatic sarcoidosis before death. CASE REPORT We report the case of a male patient with a history of pulmonary sarcoidosis, who presented with clinical picture and CT scan findings suggestive of pancreatic cancer. Pancreatic mass biopsy showed lesions consistent with sarcoid...
متن کاملAn unusual case of primary hepatic lymphoma mimicking sarcoidosis in MRI
Sarcoidosis is a granulomatous disease, in which liver affection is common, contrary to a primary hepatic lymphoma that is very rarely seen. On MRI both present with almost the same imaging features: hypointense in T1-weighted and hyperintense in T2-weighted sequences. Our patient with a histologically confirmed sarcoidosis in the lungs showed liver lesions that were similar to sarcoidosis mani...
