LESÕES TUMORAIS SÓLIDAS E CÍSTICAS DE PÂNCREAS: UMA REVISÃO NARRATIVA DA LITERATURA

Abstract

Pancreatic tumors are a diverse group of lesions that can be cystic or solid. Among the solid ones are ductal adenocarcinomas of the pancreas, which constitute the majority of solid lesions and also have the highest associated mortality rate, neuroendocrine tumors (NET), which may be associated with syndromes such as multiple endocrine neoplasia type I, Von-Hippel-Lindau syndrome, tuberous sclerosis and neurofibromatosis type I, solid pseudopapillary tumor (Frantz's tumor), pancreatoblastoma, which is the most common pancreas tumor in children, and pancreatic lymphoma. Cystic lesions are divided into non-neoplastic, the pancreatic pseudocyst, which corresponds to 80% of pancreatic lesions, and neoplastic, which are divided into serous and mucinous, whose management varies according to their characteristics. and potential for malignancy. Most pancreatic lesions are detected on imaging tests, and their diagnosis has increased considerably in recent decades due to advances in imaging techniques. The indicated conduct for patients with pancreatic tumors still constitutes a challenge for medical practice, therefore, this narrative review aims to highlight the clinical, epidemiological aspects, diagnostic criteria and management of pancreas, cystic and solid lesions
