Pancreatic Disorder
![Page 2: Pancreatic disorder](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061111/5454e51baf795997708b5538/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
Pancreas
• The pancreas is a gland organ participating both in the digestive and in the endocrine system.
• As endocrine:– producing several important hormones including insulin,
glucagon and somatostatin.
• As exocrine:– Secreting pancreatic juice containing digestive enzymes that
pass to the small intestine.– Enzymes: trypsin, chymotrypsin, aminopeptidase,
elastase, amylase, lipase, phopholipases and nucleases.

Development
![Page 4: Pancreatic disorder](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061111/5454e51baf795997708b5538/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
5 weeks embryo end of 6th week
• The pancreas is developed in two parts, a dorsal and a ventral.
• The former arises as a diverticulum from the dorsal aspect of the duodenum a short distance above the hepatic diverticulum, and, growing upward and backward into the dorsal mesogastrium, forms a part of the head and uncinate process and the whole of the body and tail of the pancreas.
• The ventral part appears in the form of a diverticulum from the primitive bile-duct and forms the remainder of the head and uncinate process of the pancreas. The duct of the dorsal part (accessory pancreatic duct) therefore opens independently into the duodenum, while that of the ventral part (pancreatic duct) opens with the common bile-duct.
![Page 5: Pancreatic disorder](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061111/5454e51baf795997708b5538/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Coarsely lobulated, elongated, lies transversely across the abdomenand extends from the duodenum to the splenic hilum.
Three parts: head with the uncinate process, body and tail.
DuodenumSplenic hilum
![Page 6: Pancreatic disorder](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061111/5454e51baf795997708b5538/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Anterior aspect: directly in contact with the posterior wall of the stomach
Posterior: extends to the inferior vena cava: superior mesenteric vessels: splenic vein: left kidney
![Page 7: Pancreatic disorder](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061111/5454e51baf795997708b5538/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Pancreatic ducts
• Main pancreatic duct– Duct of Wirsung– Ends in the papilla or ampulla of vater in
conjunction with the common bile duct.
• Accessory pancreatic duct– Duct of Santorini– Opens independently into a minor duodenal
papilla
![Page 8: Pancreatic disorder](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061111/5454e51baf795997708b5538/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Pancreatic ducts
• Both ducts are joined by numerous anastomostic connections.
• When this is not the case and the duct of Santorini becomes the principal drainage – result to a condition called – pancreas divisum
![Page 9: Pancreatic disorder](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061111/5454e51baf795997708b5538/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Histology
Two separate components: Exocrine & Endocrine– Exocrine portion
• Constitute 80-85% of the organ• Made up of numerous small glands or acini• Lining cells: columnar to pyramidal cells radially
oriented about the gland circumference
ACINI
![Page 10: Pancreatic disorder](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061111/5454e51baf795997708b5538/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Endocrine portion
• Mainly represented by the Langerhan’s islet• Constitute 1%-2% of the adult pancreas• Main cell types:
B cells - insulin secreting (2/3 -3/4 of cell population)
A cells - glucagon secreting (1/5 -1/4 of cell population)
D cells - somatostatin secreting (small in number)
PP cells - pancreatic polypeptide secreting cells (scarce and located at the periphery)
Islet of Langerhans
![Page 11: Pancreatic disorder](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061111/5454e51baf795997708b5538/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Congenital Anomalies• Annular pancreas
– Rare embryologic abnormality in which the ventral primordium fails to rotate properly.
– Down syndrome is a predisposing condition for this anomaly.
Duct originates anteriorlyCourses to the right over the duodenum, then posteriorly to the left of the duodenum passing near the common ductFinally, joining the pancreatic duct.
![Page 12: Pancreatic disorder](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061111/5454e51baf795997708b5538/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Congenital Anomalies
• Gross:– There is encirclement of the duodenum by
pancreatic parenchyma -> may lead to constriction of the duodenal lumen.
• Microscopic:– Contains a large number of PP cells in its
many irregularly shaped islets.
![Page 13: Pancreatic disorder](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061111/5454e51baf795997708b5538/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Heterotopic pancreas
• Frequent congenital anomaly• Sites:
– Duodenum (particularly the 2nd portion)– Stomach– Jejunum– Ileum– Meckel’s diverticulum– Gastric and intestinal diverticula– Gall bladder– Bile ducts– Large bowel– Spleen (usually within or beneath the capsule)– Omentum– Abdominal wall
![Page 14: Pancreatic disorder](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061111/5454e51baf795997708b5538/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Pancreatitis• Acute pancreatitis
– Acute onset of abdominal pain resulting from enzymatic necrosis and inflammation of the pancreas.
• 80% of cases associated with biliary tract disease and alcoholism.
• Gallstone present in 35% to 60%• Less common causes:
– Infections with mumps, coxsackieviruses, and Mycoplasma pneumoniae
– Acute ischemia induced by vascular thrombosis, embolism, vasculitis
– Drugs – thiazide diuretics, azathioprine, estrogens, sulfonamides, furosemide, methyl dopa, procainamide
– Occlusion of pancreatic ducts by Ascaris and Clonorchis sinensis.
![Page 15: Pancreatic disorder](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061111/5454e51baf795997708b5538/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Morphology
The morphologic change stems directly from the action of activated pancreatic enzymes that are released into the pancreatic substance.
1. Microvascular leakage, to cause edema.
2. Necrosis of fat by lipolytic enzyme.
3. Acute inflammatory reaction.
4. Proteolytic destruction of pancreatic substance.
5. Destruction of blood vessels with subsequent interstitial hemorrhage.
![Page 16: Pancreatic disorder](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061111/5454e51baf795997708b5538/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Chronic pancreatitis
• Characterized by repeated bouts of mild to moderate pancreatic inflammation, with continued loss of pancreatic parenchyma and replacement by fibrous tissues.
• Etiologic factors:– Obstruction of the ductal system by carcinoma or stones– Alcoholism– Hyperparathyroidism (as a result of hypercalcemia)– Polyarteritis nodosa– Mumps, Tb, sarcoidosis
![Page 17: Pancreatic disorder](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061111/5454e51baf795997708b5538/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Morphology
• Gross:– Gland is hard, sometimes with dilated ducts and
grossly visible calcified concretions.– Pseudocyst formation is common.
• Microscopic:– Fibrosis.– Reduced number and size of acini.– Relative sparing of the islets of Langerhans.– Variable obstruction of pancreatic ducts of all sizes.– Chronic inflammatory infiltrates around lobules usually
present.
![Page 18: Pancreatic disorder](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061111/5454e51baf795997708b5538/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Cysts
• Congenital cysts– Believe to result from anomalous development of
pancreatic ducts.
– Cysts range from 3 to 5 cm in diameter.
– Lined by glistening, duct type cuboidal epithelium or a completely attenuated cell layer, enclosed in a thin fibrous capsule filled with a clear to turbid, mucoid or serous fluid.
![Page 19: Pancreatic disorder](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061111/5454e51baf795997708b5538/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Cysts
• Pseudocyts– Localized collection of pancreatic secretions
that develop after inflammation of the pancreas.
– Gross: wall is thick and irregular– Microscopic: devoid of lining epithelium
• Complication: perforation and hemorrhage
![Page 20: Pancreatic disorder](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061111/5454e51baf795997708b5538/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
TUMORS
![Page 21: Pancreatic disorder](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061111/5454e51baf795997708b5538/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Ductal Adenocarcinoma
• General and Clinical Features– Ductal adenocarcinoma of the exocrine pancreas
comprises about 85% of all cases of pancreatic malignancy.
– Cases have been reported in workers exposed to B-naphthylamine or benzidine
– Cigarette smoking has also been cited as a risk factor.
![Page 22: Pancreatic disorder](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061111/5454e51baf795997708b5538/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Ductal Adenocarcinoma
• General and Clinical Features
– About 10% of pancreatic cancers show familial aggregation consistent with genetic susceptibility.
– Chronic pancreatitis is positively associated with an increased risk for pancreatic cancer, cause and effect relationship is difficult to ascertain.
![Page 23: Pancreatic disorder](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061111/5454e51baf795997708b5538/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Ductal Adenocarcinoma
• General and Clinical Features– Most patients are elderly– With slight male preponderance (1.6:1 ratio)– Because of its strategic location in relation to the
extrahepatic bile ducts, carcinoma of the head of the pancreas usually causes progressive jaundice that is associated with pain in at least half of the patients; however the diagnosis in most cases is made when the tumor is relatively large (5 cm) and has extended beyond the pancreas (85% of the cases).
![Page 24: Pancreatic disorder](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061111/5454e51baf795997708b5538/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Ductal Adenocarcinoma General and Clinical Features
• Carcinoma of the body and tail grow insidiously and has already metastasized at the time of diagnosis.
• Several diagnostic tests to detect early stage of pancreatic ca:– CT scan - nuclear magnetic resonance– Celiac angiography - sonography– Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreotography (ERCP)– Selenomethionine scan - duodenal aspiration– Serum test: monoclonal antibodies against various cancer-
related antigens:• SPan1• CA 19-9
![Page 25: Pancreatic disorder](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061111/5454e51baf795997708b5538/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Location and Gross Features
• Pancreatic carcinoma is located in the head of the pancreas in 2/3 of cases.
• 1/3 either body or tail.
• 20% of cases there are multiple tumors
• Gross:
– Most are poorly delineated and firm.
– Yellowish gray cut surface.
– Rarely undergoes massive cystic degeneration.
![Page 26: Pancreatic disorder](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061111/5454e51baf795997708b5538/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Location and Gross Features
• Duodenal wall is invaded by direct extension in ¼ of the tumors arising from the pancreatic head.
• Extrapancreatic extension is common and when extensive, it may be difficult to determine whether the tumor is of pancreatic in origin.
• Pancreatic ducts if involved – frequently become greatly dilated and plugged with necrotic tumor.
• The non-neoplastic pancreas distal to the tumor may show extensive atrophy, chronic inflammation and fibrosis plus ductal dilatation.
![Page 27: Pancreatic disorder](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061111/5454e51baf795997708b5538/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Microscopic features
• Pancreatic duct adenocarcinoma are graded
microscopically:
– Well-differentiated
– Moderately differentiated
– Poorly differentiated
![Page 28: Pancreatic disorder](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061111/5454e51baf795997708b5538/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Microscopic features
• Well-differentiated tumors:– Can be extremely difficult.– Attention to cytologic details.– LPO:
• Glands are well formed, large lumen and are lined by one or few layers of cylindrical or cuboidal epithelium.
• Irregular shape and distribution of the glands and peculiar desmoplastic stroma.
• Note: overall low power view may not be particularly suggestive of carcinoma.
![Page 29: Pancreatic disorder](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061111/5454e51baf795997708b5538/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Microscopic features
• Well-differentiated tumors:– HPO:
• Lining epithelium will show one or more features indicative of malignancy:
– Marked nuclear pleomorphism– Loss of polarity– Prominent nucleoli– Mitotic activity
• Vascular invasion particularly veins – seen in ½ of tumors.
• Perineural invasion – present in 90% of cases is an additional important diagnostic sign.
![Page 30: Pancreatic disorder](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061111/5454e51baf795997708b5538/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Caution:– Benign epithelial inclusions in the pancreatic
nerves.– Perineural extension of islet cells which can
occur in chronic pancreatitis.
![Page 31: Pancreatic disorder](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061111/5454e51baf795997708b5538/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
PanIN
• Pancreatic Intraepithelial Neoplasia– Carcinoma-in-situ / Atypical hyperplasia– Believed to be precursors of Invasive ductal
adonocarcinoma
![Page 32: Pancreatic disorder](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061111/5454e51baf795997708b5538/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Histochemical and Immunohistochemical Features
• Most pancreatic ductal carcinomas are positive for mucin stains.
• Immunohistochem:– (+) reactivity to keratin (not much of a diagnostic help)– EMA (epithelial membrane antigen)– CEA - Tn / sialosyl-Tn antigens– CA 19-9 - DF3 antigen (mammary-type apo-mucin)
– DU-PAN2 - M1 and cathepsin– YPan-1 - pepsinogen II– Span-1 - villin
![Page 33: Pancreatic disorder](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061111/5454e51baf795997708b5538/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Question
• Are these histochemical and immunohistochemical studies sufficient to confirm the diagnosis of Pancreatic adenocarcinoma?
![Page 34: Pancreatic disorder](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061111/5454e51baf795997708b5538/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
• NO
• Unfortunately, ducts in cases of chronic pancreatitis also exhibit immunoreactivity for most of these markers, thus diminishing their utility.
![Page 35: Pancreatic disorder](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061111/5454e51baf795997708b5538/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Molecular Genetic Features
• Structural rearrangement or loss of genes:– 1p, 3p, 6p, 8p and 17p – important in pancreatic
carcinogenesis– Mutations or accumulation of p53 – detected in half of
the cases– Mutation of the K-ras oncogene in 95% of cases– Inactivation of p16 in over 95% of cases– Overexpression of HER2 / neu oncogene in
approximately ½ of the cases
![Page 36: Pancreatic disorder](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061111/5454e51baf795997708b5538/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
• DPC4 suppressor gene– Inactivated in approximately half of pancreatic ductal
carcinomas– NEVER inactivated in benign conditions.– Therefore:
• The immunohistochemical absence of this protein product in the ductal epithelium of a pancreatic biopsy specimen is strongly suggestive of carcinoma.
![Page 37: Pancreatic disorder](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061111/5454e51baf795997708b5538/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)

Endocrine Tumors
• General and clinical features– Traditionally designated as islet cell tumors– Some books – pancreatic endocrine neoplasm– Most common in adults– Few reported cases in children and newborn.
![Page 39: Pancreatic disorder](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061111/5454e51baf795997708b5538/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Morphologic Features
• Body and tail – most common location• Gross:
– Pinkish cast resembling spleen or congested lymph node.
– Do not have well-defined capsule.– Long standing tumors – large amount of fibrous
tissues and may contain calcium and bone.– Some may be predominantly cystic in appearance.
![Page 40: Pancreatic disorder](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061111/5454e51baf795997708b5538/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)

cuboidal cells with centrally located nuclei and acidophilic or amphophilic finely granular cytoplasm.
– Patterns:• Solid - any cell type• Gyriform - Beta and alpha cell type• Glandular - G or VIP cells • Nondescript
G - Gamma cells; VIP – vasoactive intestinal peptide
![Page 41: Pancreatic disorder](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061111/5454e51baf795997708b5538/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Morphologic Features
• Stroma:– Highly vascular– Some cases – abundant hyaline material separates
the tumor into scattered nests– Amyloid may be encountered paticularly in insulin
producing neoplasm
![Page 42: Pancreatic disorder](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061111/5454e51baf795997708b5538/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Unusual features of pancreatic endocrine tumors:
a. mucin production
b. black pigmentation – due to lipofuscin-type granules
c. clear cell – tends to occur in tumors associated with von Hippel-Lindau disease and may mimic renal cell ca
d. vacuolation – accumulation of cytoplasmic lipid
e. psammomma body formation
f. rhabdoid features
g. sarcomatoid transformation – include presence of skeletal muscle cells.
![Page 43: Pancreatic disorder](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061111/5454e51baf795997708b5538/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Specific Types• Beta cell tumors
– Most common– When functioning – referred to as insulinoma– Occur in adults – incidence equal in both sexes– Whipple Triad: characteristic of Beta cell tumor
consists of:• Mental confusion, fatigue and convulsion• Fasting blood glucose below 50 mg%• Relief of symptoms by the administration of
glucose
![Page 44: Pancreatic disorder](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061111/5454e51baf795997708b5538/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Specific Types• Beta cell tumors
– Over 90% - solitary– Located within the substance of the pancreas– 2% - seen in adjacent areas– 70% - measure 1.5 cm or less
• Microscopically:– May grow in solid or gyriform pattern.– Glands are usually absent.
![Page 45: Pancreatic disorder](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061111/5454e51baf795997708b5538/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Specific Types• Beta cell tumors
– Immunohistochemically• lesser degree of reactivity for insulin than the
normal beta cells.• Amylin – can be used for detection
AmylinAmylin is a peptide of 37 amino acids, which is also secreted by the
beta cells of the pancreas. Some of its actions:
inhibits the secretion of glucagon; slows the emptying of the stomach; sends a satiety signal to the brain.
![Page 46: Pancreatic disorder](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061111/5454e51baf795997708b5538/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
Specific Types
• Beta cell tumors– Only 7% to 10% - are malignant– Evidence of infiltration and metastases
– Associated clinically with more pronounced hypoglycemia.
– Treatment: SURGICAL
![Page 47: Pancreatic disorder](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061111/5454e51baf795997708b5538/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
Specific Types
• Alpha cell Tumor– Two distinct types:
• Those associated with glucagonoma syndrome• Those not associated with glucagonoma syndrome
![Page 48: Pancreatic disorder](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061111/5454e51baf795997708b5538/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
Alpha cell tumor
• Those associated with glucagonoma syndrome (Glucagonomas)– Usually solitary and large– Nondescript microscopic pattern– Few cells positive for glucagon immnuhistochemically
(caused by abnormalities in the biosynthesis of glucagon)
• Not associated with glucagonoma syndrome– Multiple and small– Gyriform pattern of growth– Strongly immunoreactive for glucagon– Nearly always benign
![Page 49: Pancreatic disorder](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061111/5454e51baf795997708b5538/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
Specific Types• G-cell tumors
– Referred to as Gastrinoma– Due to excessive production of gatrin– Can produce Zollinger-Ellison syndrome– Tumors often found in pancreas, duodenum and
gastric antrum– Diarrhea – seen in 1/3 of patients as a result of
excessive gastric secretion– Immunocytochemical studies: will show presence of
gastrin production by tumor cells.
![Page 50: Pancreatic disorder](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061111/5454e51baf795997708b5538/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
Specific Types
• G-cell tumors• Treatment of choice:
– Removal of the target organs – total gastrectomy– Solitary non-metastasizing tumors - excision
![Page 51: Pancreatic disorder](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061111/5454e51baf795997708b5538/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
Specific Types
• VIP-producing tumors– Associated with a diarrheogenic or cholera-like
syndrome in the absence of gastric hypersecretion– Due to vasoactive intestinal polypeptide (VIP)– Immunocytochem: absence of gastrin production– Tumors also contain:
• PP – pancreatic polypeptide• calcitonin • Alpha chain of hCG
![Page 52: Pancreatic disorder](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061111/5454e51baf795997708b5538/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
Specific Types
• Delta cell tumors– Seem generally nonfunctioning at the clinical level– Produces somatostatin (growth hormone inhibiting
hormone)– Patient presentation: somatostatinoma syndrome
• Diabetes• Cholecystolithiasis• Steatorrhea• Indigestion• Hypochlorhydria• Occasionally anemia
![Page 53: Pancreatic disorder](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061111/5454e51baf795997708b5538/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
• Zollinger–Ellison syndrome– is a triad of gastric acid hypersecretion– severe peptic ulceration– non-beta cell islet tumor of pancreas (Gastrinoma).
• In this syndrome increased levels of the hormone gastrin are produced, causing the stomach to produce excess hydrochloric acid. Often the cause is a tumor (gastrinoma) of the duodenum or pancreas producing the hormone gastrin. Gastrin then causes an excessive production of acid which can lead to peptic ulcers in almost 95% of patients.
• Gastric hyperacidity with gastric, duodenal and jejunal ulcers.
![Page 54: Pancreatic disorder](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061111/5454e51baf795997708b5538/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
• Somatostatin – growth hormone inhibiting hormone
![Page 55: Pancreatic disorder](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061111/5454e51baf795997708b5538/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)
Question:
