A 54-year old male patient was admitted with complaints of periodical pain in the upper abdomen, CA- 19.9-51 U/ml (reference range < 37 U/ml). Blood tests were normal. However, ultrasound scan results revealed growth of a pancreatic tumor over 52×38 mm. A CT scan was performed for further characterization of the lesion. A tumor mass of 54 mm in diameter of the pancreatic body was found. There was no differentiation of lesion border with pancreas body (Fig. 1). Surgical resection was performed without preoperative biopsy following the consensus of the International Study Group of Pancreatic Surgery which states that in the presence of a solid mass suspicious for malignancy, a biopsy proof is not required before proceeding with resection (1). A soft consistence pancreas cyst with pus-like content was resected during surgical operation....

Morphological Diagnosis

Thanks to computed tomography (CT) and gray-scale ultrasounds the possibilities of morphological diagnosis in pancreatic disease have improved. Nevertheless, only a part of the potenial performances of this practice is known and especially for ultrasounds, where only an expert eye can properly read the resulting images. With the help of pictures we hereby deal with the above-mentioned procedures in the demonstration of a pancreatic neoplasm. The possible integration with other more invasive methods was verified compared to pancreatic angiography. The latter is irreplaceable in the presurgical stage, and the method proposed by the authors can be useful when other methods cannot be employed.

Abstract We report a case of combined microcystic adenoma and pancreatic endocrine neoplasm of the pancreas in a 53-year-old male patient. The pancreatic tumor was an incidental computed tomography scan finding and was not accompanied by gastrointestinal symptoms. The tumor was located in the head of the pancreas and was composed of numerous small cysts lined by uniform clear cells with a centrally located solid endocrine component. Four cases of similar neoplasm have recently been reported, exclusively in women. Literature review and case analysis indicate that combined microcystic adenoma and pancreatic endocrine neoplasm is characterized by the presence of pancreatic endocrine neoplasm within microcystic adenoma in the head of the pancreas, affects women more often than men, and presents at a younger age when compared to microcystic adenoma.

<p>The Evaluation of COPD Longitudinally to Identify Predictive Surrogate End-points (ECLIPSE) study was a large 3-year observational multicentre international study aimed at defining COPD phenotypes and identifying biomarkers and/or genetic parameters that help to predict disease progression. The study has contributed to a better understanding of COPD heterogeneity, with the characterization of clinically important subtypes/phenotypes of patients, such as the frequent exacerbators or patient with persistent systemic inflammation, who may have different prognosis or treatment requirements. Because of the big amount of information that is starting to be produced from metabolomic, proteomic and genomic approaches, one of the biggest challenges is the integration of data in a biological prospective such as clinical prognosis and response to medicinal products. In this article we highlight some of the progress in phenotyping the heterogeneity of the disease that have been made thanks to the analyses of this longitudinal study.</p>
