Abstract

Highlight Venous tumor thrombus can occur in association with pancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasm. Ishida and colleagues report their experience with a patient in whom a solitary recurrent tumor developed in the portal vein after pancreaticoduodenectomy for pancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasm. They performed portal vein resection and reconstruction using a left external iliac vein graft.

Keywords: pancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasm; pancreaticoduodenectomy; portal vein resection; portal vein tumor thrombosis; recurrence.
