  2. Pancreatic tumor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pancreatic_tumor

    A pancreatic tumor is an abnormal growth in the pancreas. [1] In adults, almost 90% are pancreatic cancer and a few are benign. [1] Pancreatic tumors are rare in children. [1] Classification is based on cellular differentiation (ductal, acinar, neuroendocrine, other) and gross appearance (intraductal, cystic, solid). [1]

  3. Nesidioblastoma - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nesidioblastoma

    In medicine, a nesidioblastoma is an uncommon, insulin-secreting, pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor . The term dates to at least 1938. [1] In that report, these lesions were adjudicated as histologically benign adenoma growths, that were associated with severe, long-standing hypoglycemia due to hyperinsulinism. Surgical removal corrected the low ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pancreatic_serous_cystadenoma

    It is usually solitary and found in the body or tail of the pancreas, and may be associated with von Hippel–Lindau syndrome. [2] In contrast to some of the other cyst-forming tumors of the pancreas (such as the intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm and the pancreatic mucinous cystadenoma), serous cystic neoplasms are almost always entirely ...

  5. Benign tumor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benign_tumor

    Benign tumor growth causes a mass effect that can compress neighboring tissues. This can lead to nerve damage, blood flow reduction ( ischemia ), tissue death ( necrosis ), or organ damage. The health effects of benign tumor growth may be more prominent if the tumor is contained within an enclosed space such as the cranium , respiratory tract ...

    They can be benign or malignant. [citation needed] Cystic lesions are found in 20.6% of all pancreatectomy specimens. Among this heterogeneous group, benign neoplasms predominate, particularly those with mucinous lining. Age at presentation, gender, location and tumor size are highly variable, with the exception of solid pseudopapillary tumor.

  8. Pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/.../Pancreatic_neuroendocrine_tumor

    Many PanNETs are benign, while some are malignant. Aggressive PanNET tumors have traditionally been termed "islet cell carcinoma". PanNETs are quite distinct from the usual form of pancreatic cancer, the majority of which are adenocarcinomas, which arise in the exocrine pancreas. Only 1 or 2% of clinically significant pancreas neoplasms are ...

  9. Intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intraductal_papillary...

    Intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm (IPMN) is a type of tumor that can occur within the cells of the pancreatic duct. IPMN tumors produce mucus, [1] and this mucus can form pancreatic cysts. [2] Although intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms are benign tumors, they can progress to pancreatic cancer. [1]
