摘要
The new WHO classification of tumours of the pancreas logically includes both exocrine and neuroendocrine neoplasms in one volume, thus differing from all previous editions. Ductal adenocarcinoma is still the most frequent and clinically the most relevant malignant tumour. Its subtypes and variants are described in detail, as are mixed tumours. Other ductal tumours [mucinous cystic neoplasms (MCN) and intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms (IPNM)] are classified as neoplasms with various grades of dysplasia up to invasive carcinoma. A new subtype of IPNM, intraductal tubulopapillary neoplasm (ITPN), has been characterized and newly added to the IPMN group. Serous and acinar tumours are classified as neoplasms with varying grades of dysplasia. Solid pseudopapillary neoplasm (SPN) is regarded as malignant (low grade) as a matter of principle because of its inherent potential to metastasize. Neuroendocrine neoplasms are characterized as G1 or G2 neuroendocrine tumours (NET) and neuroendocrine carcinomas (NEC, highly malignant). Syndromatic NETs are described and named according to their hormone expression pattern. The problems of staging when applying either the TNM or AJCC/UICC (American Joint Committee on Cancer/Union Internationale Contre le Cancer) classifications, which apply equally to endocrine and exocrine tumors, are discussed. © 2011 Springer-Verlag.
