AN UNUSUAL CASE OF PANCREATIC TUMOR; OSTEOCLASTIC LIKE GIANT CELL TUMOR

Abstract

The osteoclast-like giant cell tumor of the pancreas, described by Rosai, is a rare pancreatic tumor. Since then, only 40 cases have been reported in the literature. A 51-year-old Turkish woman was admitted because of nocturnal fever, trembling and jaundice. Blood tests on admission showed a liver cytolitic syndrome. The patient had laparotomy which confirmed the presence of a big epigastric mass adherent to the distal portion of stomach and spleen, and the portal vein thrombosis. Total pancreaticoduodenectomy was performed while the obturated portion of the portal vein was resected and replaced by polytetrafluoroethylene vascular graft. The postoperative period was uneventful. Unfortunately, three months after surgery, liver and lung metastases were noted. The patient passed away about four months after the cancer diagnosis. This case is being reported mainly to report an unusual tumor and secondary to discuss about the agressivity observed despite a radical excision of the tumor.
