ObjectiveTo study the clinicopathologic features, diagnosis and treatment of papillary cystic and solid tumor of the pancreas (PCSTP).MethodsOne case with PCSTP in our hospital and a review of 60 others from the literatures of the People’s Republic of China, a total of 61 cases were analyzed retrospectively.ResultsThe patients (57 women, 4 men) were of mean age 24.6 (range 9~59) years. The main manifestations included abdominal mass (n=52), pain (n=22) and discomfort (n=10). They were distributed in the head (n=29), neck and body (n=2), body (n=1), body and tail (n=5), tail (n=16) and capsule (n=2) of the pancreas. The other 6 cases occurred outside the pancreas. All the patients underwent surgical therapy. The tumors were identified by postoperative histopathologic examination, 7 of which were malignant (11.5%). The total 1, 3, 5year survival rate was 100%, 96.1% and 86.5% respectively.ConclusionIt is difficult to correctly diagnose the PCSTP before operation because PCSTP is often lack of typical clinical manifestations. The correct diagnosis should depend on histopathologic examination.Complete removal of the PCSTP is the most perfect treatment. PCSTP has a good prognosis.
