An Extremely Rare Case of Coexisting Neuroendocrine Carcinoma and Tumor of the Whole Pancreas with Hepatoid Differentiation
We herein present an extremely rare case of coexisting NET and NEC of the whole pancreas with hepatoid differentiation. Due to a remarkable response to chemotherapy, conversion surgery was performed. However, early recurrence of liver metastases accompanied by a rapid increase in serum AFP levels occurred, and the prognosis was poor. Pancreatic HC should be considered when encountering a bulky tumor of the pancreas with elevated serum AFP levels, and further case series and analysis are needed to determine the appropriate treatment strategy.
