Late-Onset Para-Aortic Lymph Node Recurrence 11 Years after Resection of Pancreatic Cancer: Histological Reassessment Revealed Neuroendocrine Differentiation Amenable to Surgical Resection
This case highlights the importance of tissue diagnosis when late-onset recurrence is observed in patients with a prior diagnosis of PDAC. It also underscores the potential for extremely delayed recurrence in Pan-NENs and the importance of long-term surveillance. For patients presenting with isolated distant recurrence long after initial treatment for PDAC, biopsy and pathological re-evaluation should be considered to ensure appropriate therapeutic decision-making.
