Pancreatic schwannomas are uncommon. About 60% of pancreatic schwannomas develop cystic lesions, and the differential diagnosis from other cystic pancreatic tumors is difficult. A 43-year-old man presented for evaluation of liver dysfunction detected during a medical checkup. Blood testing detected obstructive jaundice. A computed tomography scan revealed a well-defined polycystic tumor of about 5 cm at the pancreatic head. We performed surgical resection to treat the patient’s symptoms and facilitate long-term management. Histopathological examination revealed spindle-shaped cells. Immunohistochemical studies showed S100 protein expression and the absence of CD34 and c-kit protein expression. Finally, we diagnosed a schwannoma. Pancreatic schwannoma is usually asymptomatic. The present case presented with obstructive jaundice, which is reportedly a rare symptom. Pancreatic schwannomas should be considered as a differential diagnosis of pancreatic cystic tumors. Dilatation of the pancreatic duct and the 18-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography findings are important for the differential diagnosis. |
