Mixed serous-neuroendocrine neoplasm constitutes pancreatic serous cystic neoplasms and pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor, two tumor components with different underlying pathologies. The differentiation of these tumors is important as the management and prognosis depend on the pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor component. We report a case of mixed serous-neuroendocrine neoplasm in a 47-year-old female who presented with epigastric pain abdomen for two years. Imaging studies, tumor markers, thorough systemic evaluation, surgical resection, histopathological examination, and timely follow-up constituted our management approach. A 4 cm × 4 cm mass in the distal pancreas with multiple cysts in the pancreatic parenchyma containing serous fluid on distal pancreatectomy and splenectomy was found. The histopathological examination revealed combined benign serous cystadenoma and neuroendocrine tumor. She did not have any recurrence or metastasis by four years of follow-up.

Dorsal agenesis of the pancreas (DAP) is an uncommon embryological abnormality where there is absence of the distal pancreas. DAP is mostly asymptomatic, but common presenting symptoms include diabetes mellitus, abdominal pain, pancreatitis, enlarged pancreatic head, and, in a few cases, polysplenia. MRCP and ERCP are the gold standard imaging techniques to demonstrate the absence of the dorsal pancreatic duct. The literature on the association of pancreatic neoplasia and DAP is limited. We present the case of a pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor in a patient with dorsal agenesis of the pancreas, with a review of the related literature.

Multiple neuroendocrine neoplasia type 1 (MEN1) is a rare genetic disorder with an autosomal dominant inheritance, predisposing carriers to benign and malignant tumors. The phenotype of MEN1 syndrome varies between patients in terms of tumor localization, age of onset, and clinical aggressiveness, even between affected members within the same family. We describe a heterogenic phenotype of the MEN1 variant c.781C>T (LRG_509t1), which was previously reported only once in a family with isolated hyperparathyroidism. A heterozygous missense variant in exon 4 of the gene was identified in the sequence of the MEN1 gene, i.e., c.781C>T, leading to the amino acid change p.Leu261Phe in a three-generation family. In the screened family, 5/6 affected members had already developed hyperparathyroidism. In the index patient and two other family members, an aggressive course of pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor (insulinoma and non-functioning neuroendocrine tumors) with dissemination was diagnosed. In the index patient, late diagnosis and slow progression of the disseminated neuroendocrine tumor have been observed (24 years of follow-up). The very rare variant of MEN1, LRG_509t1 c.781C>T /p.Leu261Phe (LRG_509p1), diagnosed within a three-generation family has a heterogenic clinical presentation. Further follow-up of the family members should be carried out to confirm the spectrum and exact time of clinical presentation.
