Abstract:

Retrospective analysis of treatment results was carried out in 37 patients that had been treated during 1984-2009 years. Mean age of the patients was 50.7 years; among them 94.6% were women. 8 (21.6%) patients had serous cystadenoma, 21 (56.8%) patients - mucinous cystadenoma, 7 (18,9%) patients - cystadenocarcinoma and 1 (2.7%) patient - intraductal papillary-mucinous tumor. Distal pancreatic resection was carried out to 19 patients, pancreatoduodenal resection - in 5 patients, enucleation - in 10 patients, midline resection - in 1 patient, pancreatectomy - in 2 patients. The frequency of complications amounted 35.1%; lethal outcomes were not observed. Pancreatitis (in 7 patients) and pancreatic fistula (in 4 patients) were the most common complications. Re-laparotomy was necessary for destructive pancreatitis in 2 observations. Other complications were treated conservatively. Long-term results were studied in 28 (76%) patients. Mean duration of the observation was 87,3 months (6-120 months). 5-year survival rate amounted 100% among patients with benign cystic tumors of the pancreas and 25% in patients with cystadenocarcinoma. It is drawn a conclusion that complete recovery is quite possible in patients with benign tumors whereas treatment of the patients with invasive cystadenocarcinoma demonstrate poor results in long-term period.
