PG - 466-467 LID - S0960-7404(20)30412-6 [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.suronc.2020.10.004 [doi] AB - BACKGROUND: Multifocal neuroendocrine tumors (NET) usually occur in the context of a multiple neuroendocrine neoplasia type 1 (MEN1). When the proximal part of the pancreatic body is spared by NET, Miura et al. have proposed a "middle-segment preserving" pancreatectomy (MSP) as alternative to total pancreatectomy [1-3]. VIDEO: A 28-year-old woman with MEN1 was referred for surgical resection of a multifocal pancreatic tumor with single metastasis located and a single liver metastasis in close contact with the left hepatic duct. The preoperative work-up by DOTATOC-PETSCAN revealed multifocal tumors sparing only the proximal part of the pancreatic body. Hormonal dosages were normal but Chromogranine A was elevated at 700 mug/l. At surgery pancreatic intraoperative ultrasonography confirmed the absence of tumor at the proximal part of the pancreas. A pancreaticoduodenectomy was performed first followed by a left pancreatectomy with partial splenectomy. A 3 x 5 cm remnant of the pancreatic body vascularized by a dorsal pancreatic artery was preserved (Fig. 1). A left hepatectomy was then performed (Fig. 2). Digestive reconstruction is performed by a pancreatojejunostomy with an externalized pancreatic stent (Fig. 3), hepaticojejunostomy and a gastrojejunal anastomosis. RESULTS: Surgery lasted 660 minutes. Postoperative course was uneventful but a late readmission was necessary because of pyelonephritis due to nephrolithiasis treated by ureteral stent insertion. At 11 months postoperative follow-up the patient was disease-free with no endocrine dysfunction under oral pancreatic enzyme supplementation. Total weight loss since surgery was 8 Kilograms. CONCLUSIONS: A middle-segment-preserving pancreatectomy could be a valid surgical alternative to total pancreatectomy for multifocal pancreatic tumors sparing the proximal pancreatic body. This operation can achieve acceptable functional outcomes but large series with long-term follow up are needed to evaluate the advantages and results of MSP. CI - Copyright (c) 2020 Elsevier Ltd.
