Abstract
Introduction. To improve the differential diagnosis of chronic pseudotumor pancreatitis and pancreatic cancer, an immunohistochemical study was performed on surgical material from 20 patients with volumetric neoplasia of the pancreatic head who had previously undergone surgery. The Zinc-alpha-2-glycoprotein antibody was selected for this study as a marker of chronic pseudotumor pancreatitis. According to the results of the study with the Zinc-alpha-2-glycoprotein antibody on pancreatic tissue of patients with chronic pseudotumor pancreatitis, AZGP1 expression in acinar cells with strong staining was observed in all 12 (100 %) cases. While diffuse weak staining in the epithelium of tumor cells was observed in all pancreatic tissue samples with ductal adenocarcinoma.
Aim. To improve the diagnosis of patients with chronic pseudo-tumor pancreatitis by developing new diagnostic markers that contribute to the development and progression of chronic pancreatitis.
Materials and methods. The study included 20 patients with a volumetric neoplasm of the pancreatic head who had previously undergone surgery. The surgical procedures were performed in different volumes: Frey surgery — 8 (40.0 %), Beger surgery (Berne version) — 3 (15.0 %), Halperin resection of the pancreatic head — 1 (5.0 %), pancreatoduodenal resection — 8 (40.0 %).
Results. According to the results of the study with the Zinc-alpha-2-glycoprotein antibody on the pancreatic tissue of patients with chronic pseudotumor pancreatitis, in all 12 (100 %) cases AZGP1 was strongly stained in the acinar cells. Although the use of the AZGP1 antibody as a marker for chronic pseudotumorosis showed positive results, a study with a large amount of material is needed.
