The pancreas hangs-out in the upper abdomen. It occasionally is afflicited by cancers, the most common of which is very fatal.

Pancreatic cytopathology is dealt with in the gastrointestinal cytopathology article.

A general introduction to gastrointestinal pathology is in the gastrointestinal pathology article.

Introduction

Normal anatomy

Divided into three portions: head, body & tail:[1]

  • Head:
    • Includes unicate process.
    • Extends to the left edge of the superior mesenteric vein (SMV) - by definition.
      • All of the SMV is with the head.
  • Body:
    • Right edge of the superior mesenteric vein to the left edge of aorta - by definition.
      • All of the aorta is with the body.
  • Tail:
    • Remainder of pancreas.

Pancreatic surgeries

Common pancreatic surgeries include:

  • Whipple procedure (AKA pancreaticoduodenal resection) - includes duodenum +/- stomach.
  • Distal pancreatectomy.
  • Total pancreatectomy.
    • Specimen usually comes with a spleen.

Whipple procedure

Margins:[2]

  1. Proximal mucosal margin (stomach or duodenum).
  2. Distal mucosal margin (duodenum or jejunum).
  3. Bile duct margin.
  4. Pancreatic retroperitoneal (uncinate process) margin.
    • At SB done on edge (not en face).
  5. Pancreatic neck transection margin (AKA distal pancreatic resection margin);[3] usu. en face and in toto.[4]
  6. Sometimes superior mesenteric vein (SMV).
  7. Rarely superior mesenteric artery (SMA) margin.

General classification of pancreatic tumours

  • Metstatses.
    • Most common = renal cell carcinoma.
  • Primary.
    • Endocrine.
      • Usually small as hormonally active.
    • Exocrine.

WHO classification

Benign epithelial:
