Peri-ampullary mixed acinar-endocrine carcinoma
2011
Mixed acinar-endocrine carcinomas (MAEC) are rare tumors of the pancreas. We present the case of a patient with periampullary tumor that presented with painless jaundice and after investigation was found to have MAEC. He underwent pancreaticoduo-dunectomy with tumor free margins and negative lymph nodes. The patient presented with local recurrence and liver metastasis after 1 year and is on chemotherapy with stable lesions 30 months after the diagnosis.
