A case of an early diagnosis of a pancreatic tail tumor in a patient with isolated gastric vein dilatation

The article provides an example of early diagnosis of pancreatic cancer with isolated dilatation of the veins of the stomach. Using ultrasound, CT and MRI methods of the abdominal organs revealed hepatomegaly and diffuse heterogeneity of the pancreatic parenchyma in the patient. Laparoscopic distal resection of the pancreas with splenectomy was performed. Histological examination verified low-grade ductal adenocarcinoma. Conducted a course of chemotherapy. Thus, an adequate interpretation of the results of routine instrumental studies makes it possible to verify oncopathology at an early stage, which improves the prognosis, duration and quality of life of the patient.
