A Rare Case of Rhabdoid Pancreatic Carcinoma: Prolonged Disease-Free Survival Following Upfront Resection and Adjuvant Chemotherapy.
Curēus 2023 December
The rhabdoid subtype of undifferentiated pancreatic carcinoma is rarely reported. The clinical course of this disease is therefore poorly understood, although it is apparently an aggressive malignancy. We herein discuss the case of a 69-year-old man presenting with a rapidly enlarging mass of the pancreatic body and tail who was diagnosed with locally advanced SMARCB1-deficient undifferentiated pancreatic carcinoma with rhabdoid features, treated with radical resection and adjuvant chemotherapy, and has achieved 18-month disease-free survival ongoing at the time of article publication. We identify and contrast our case with 15 similar tumors reported in the English literature, briefly discuss the biology of this tumor, its relationship to malignant rhabdoid tumors of childhood, the role of SMARCB1 and its parent complex switch/sucrose-non-fermentable chromatin remodeling complex (SWI/SNF) in modulating the behavior of pancreatic malignancy, and the potential therapeutic avenues available for SWI/SNF-mutated malignancies.
