Abstract |
Pancreatic acinar cell carcinoma is an uncommon malignancy of the exocrine pancreas. Because of a higher recurrence rate and frequent metastases, this tumor, generally, has a poor prognosis. We report a case of pancreatic acinar cell carcinoma in a 60-year-old man. His chief complaint was jaundice. Abdominal CT revealed a heterogeneous enhancing mass in the pancreatic head measuring 8.2x7.5cm. After receiving the Whipple procedure, acinar cell carcinoma was diagnosed by pathological examination. Liver metastasis was found at one year after the curative resection. |
Key Words:

췌장의 선방세포암은 매우 드문 질환으로 아직까지 보고된 예가 많지 않다. 저자들은 황달을 주소로 내원한 60세 남자에서 췌장 두부에 발생한 선방세포암을 완전 절제하였음에도 불구하고, 수술 12개월 후 간전이 소견을 보인 환자를 치험하였기에 문헌 고찰과 함께 보고하는 바이다. |
