  • Hereditary Pancreatitis
    Fact Sheet - Hereditary Pancreatitis Hereditary Pancreatitis (HP) is a rare genetic condition characterized by recurrent episodes of pancreatic attacks, which can progress to chronic pancreatitis. Symptoms include abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting. Onset of attacks typically occurs between within the first two decades of life, but can begin at any age. In the United States, it is estimated that at least 1,000 individuals are affected with hereditary pancreatitis. HP has also been linked to an increased lifetime risk of pancreatic cancer. Pancreatic cancer is the 4th leading cause of cancer deaths among Americans. Individuals with hereditary pancreatitis appear to have a 40% lifetime risk of developing pancreatic cancer. This increased risk is heavily dependent upon the duration of chronic pancreatitis and environmental exposures to alcohol and smoking. One recent study suggested that individuals with chronic pancreatitis for more than 25 years had a higher rate of pancreatic cancer when compared to individuals in the general population. This increased rate appears to be due to the prolonged chronic pancreatitis rather than having a gene mutation (all cationic trypsinogen mutations). It is important to note that these risk values may be higher than expected because these studies on pancreatic cancer use a highly selective population rather than a randomly selected population. At this time, there is no cure for HP. Treating the symptoms associated with HP is the choice method of medical management. Patients may be prescribed pancreatic enzyme supplements to treat maldigestion, insulin to treat diabetes, analgesics and narcotics to control pain, and lifestyle changes to reduce the risk of pancreatic cancer (for example, NO SMOKING!).

  • Idiopathic and Hereditary Pancreatitis Testing
    Idiopathic and Hereditary Pancreatitis Testing Pancreatitis is a relatively common disorder with multiple etiologies that causes inammation in the pancreas. Acute pancreatitis (AP) is a result of sudden inammation, and patients may present with increased pancreatic enzyme concentrations. Chronic Tests to Consider pancreatitis (CP) is a syndrome of progressive inammation that may lead to permanent damage to pancreatic structure and function.

Symptoms for pancreatitis include intense abdominal pain, nausea, and malnutrition. Hereditary pancreatitis (HP) is a genetic condition in which recurrent acute attacks can progress to chronic pancreatitis, typically beginning in adolescence. Mutations in the PRSS1 gene cause autosomal dominant HP.

Address for correspondence: Prof. Wojciech P. Polkowski MD, PhD, Department of Surgical Oncology, Medical University of Lublin, 11 Staszica St, 20-081 Lublin, Poland, phone: +48 81 534 43 13, fax: +48 81 532 23 95, e-mail: [email protected] Abstract Pancreas divisum (PD) is the most common congenital anomaly of the pancreas, which increases susceptibility to recurrent pancreatitis. Usually, after failure of initial endoscopic therapies, surgical treatment combining pancreatic resection or drainage is used. The Frey procedure is used for chronic pancreatitis, but it has not been reported to be applied in an adult patient with PD-associated pancreatitis. The purpose of the paper was to describe effective treatment of this rare condition by the Frey procedure after failure of interventional endoscopic treatment. A 39-year-old female patient was initially treated for recurrent acute pancreatitis. After endoscopic diagnosis of PD, the minor duodenal papilla was incised and a plastic stent was inserted into the dorsal pancreatic duct. During the following 36 months, the patient was hospitalised several times because of recur- rent episodes of pancreatitis. Thereafter, local resection of the pancreatic head combined with lateral pancreaticojejunostomy was performed with no complications.

  • A Gastric Duplication Cyst with an Accessory Pancreatic Lobe
    Turk J Gastroenterol 2014; 25 (Suppl.-1): 199-202 An unusual cause of recurrent pancreatitis: A gastric duplication cyst with an accessory pancreatic lobe xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Aysel Türkvatan1, Ayşe Erden2, Mehmet Akif Türkoğlu3, Erdal Birol Bostancı3, Selçuk Dişibeyaz4, Erkan Parlak4 1Department of Radiology, Türkiye Yüksek İhtisas Hospital, Ankara, Turkey 2Department of Radiology, Ankara University Faculty of Medicine, Ankara, Turkey 3Department of Gastroenterological Surgery, Türkiye Yüksek İhtisas Hospital, Ankara, Turkey 4Department of Gastroenterology, Türkiye Yüksek İhtisas Hospital, Ankara, Turkey ABSTRACT Congenital anomalies of pancreas and its ductal drainage are uncommon but in general surgically correctable causes of recurrent pancreatitis. A gastric duplication cyst communicated with an accessory pancreatic lobe is an extremely rare cause of recurrent pancreatitis, but an early and accurate diagnosis of this anomaly is important because suitable surgical treatment may lead to a satisfactory outcome. Herein, we presented multidetector com- puted tomography and magnetic resonance imaging findings of a gastric duplication cyst communicating with an accessory pancreatic lobe via an aberrant duct in a 29-year-old woman with recurrent acute pancreatitis and also reviewed other similar cases reported in the literature.

Aim of the study was to investigate incidences of acute pancreatitis, recurrent acute pancreatitis, and chronic pancreatitis, collecting demographics, etiologies, and comorbid conditions using charted ICD-9-CM codes. Methods: Retrospective chart review was performed on de-identified patient records of hospitalizations at University of Kentucky hospitals between 2005 and 2013. Results: Of 234 children diagnosed during the 9 year time period, 69.2% (n=162) had a single episode of acute, 27.8% (65) recurrent acute, and 16.2% (38) chronic pancreatitis. Surprisingly, the annual incidence for first time diagnosis of acute pancreatitis was significantly higher for female patients (16.1, 95% CI: 13.5- 18.7 per 100,000, P<0.005) compared to males (9.1, 95% CI: 6.8-11.4). Comorbid conditions varied widely depending on patients’ age.

  • Intraductal Papillary Mucinous Carcinoma of The
    Nishi et al. BMC Gastroenterology (2015) 15:78 DOI 10.1186/s12876-015-0313-3 CASE REPORT Open Access Intraductal papillary mucinous carcinoma of the pancreas associated with pancreas divisum: a case report and review of the literature Takeshi Nishi1,2*, Yasunari Kawabata2, Noriyoshi Ishikawa3, Asuka Araki3, Seiji Yano2, Riruke Maruyama3 and Yoshitsugu Tajima2 Abstract Background: Pancreas divisum, the most common congenital anomaly of the pancreas, is caused by failure of the fusion of the ventral and dorsal pancreatic duct systems during embryological development. Although various pancreatic tumors can occur in patients with pancreas divisum, intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm is rare. Case presentation: A 77-year-old woman was referred to our hospital because she was incidentally found to have a cystic tumor in her pancreas at a regular health checkup. Contrast-enhanced abdominal computed tomography images demonstrated a cystic tumor in the head of the pancreas measuring 40 mm in diameter with slightly enhancing mural nodules within the cyst. Endoscopic retrograde pancreatography via the major duodenal papilla revealed a cystic tumor and a slightly dilated main pancreaticductwithanabruptinterruptionattheheadofthe pancreas. The orifice of the major duodenal papilla was remarkably dilated and filled with an abundant extrusion of mucin, and the diagnosis based on pancreatic juice cytology was “highly suspicious for adenocarcinoma”. Magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography depicted a normal, non-dilated dorsal pancreatic duct throughout the pancreas. The patient underwent a pylorus-preserving pancreaticoduodenectomy under the diagnosis of intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm with suspicion of malignancy arising in the ventral part of the pancreas divisum. A pancreatography via the major and minor duodenal papillae on the surgical specimen revealed that the ventral and dorsal pancreatic ducts were not connected, and the tumor originated in the ventral duct, i.e., the Wirsung’s duct.
