Pancreatic cancer is popular, in our report from 1997 to 1999 in Cho Ray hospital and university of medicine and pharmacy polyclinic, there are 213 patients of which 146 to be operated. There is 54.8% of patients over 59 yeas old. Male is in 58.9% of patients and female is in 41.1% of patients. Predominant symptoms included: abdominal pain (72.6%), jaundice (67.1%), abdominal mass (41.3%). Average total bilirubinemia concentration is 12.3 mg%, average concentration of direct bilirubin direct is 8.2 mg%. Ultrasound diagnosis is correct in 58.2% and CT in 59% of pancreatic cancer. Exact preoperative diagnosis in pancreatic cancer is 76.7% (stage 3) and stage 4 (74.7%). Pancreatic cancer is usually in the head and ampulary of the Vater (78.7%). Curative surgical treatment only indicated for 15.8%, other is palliative surgical treatment. Bilioenterostomy is usually performed by way of cholecystoenterostomy in 64 patients and choledoenterostomy in 32 patients. There are only 3 patients died to be reported

Laparoscopic pancreatoduodenectomy(LPD)is one of the most challenging abdominal procedures.It has been developed for nearly 25 years since the first report in 1994.During the first 10 years,LPD has developed slowly due to widespread controversy and opposition.In the past 10 years,a number of breakthroughs have been made in LPD with the introduction of high-definition laparoscopy,improvements in laparoscopic instruments,advances in minimally invasive surgery,improved selections of patients,and accumulation of experiences in open pancreaticoduodenectomy(OPD).However,many controversies still exist.This review summarizes the strength and weakness of LPD versus OPD in terms of indications,learning curve,complications,short-term benefits,long-term oncology results,and cost and proposes its future directions.

A hitherto unrecognized variant of solid-pseudopapillary tumor (SPT) of the pancreas is reported. The tumor presented in the pancreatic tail of a 44-year-old female patient. It was a well-defined, solid nodule measuring 25mm in diameter, with homogenous tan gray cut surface. Histologically, the neoplasm was mostly composed of sheets of spindle cells. No cellular atypia and mitosis was identified. The periphery of the tumor showed typical feature of SPT. Immunohistochemically, the tumor cells were positive for vimentin, CD10, CD56, beta-catenin, and alpha;1-antichymotrypsin, but negative for cytokeratin, chromogranin, synaptophysin and S-100 protein. Ultrastructurally, the tumor showed a few acinar spaces with microvilli between tumor cells. This case is peculiar in that the tumor did not show gross cystic change and predominantly consists of spindle shaped tumor cells, so may cause difficult diagnostic problem.

A retrospective survey was conducted on 62 patients aged 20-70 years during the period from 1995-1997 with a gender ratio of 64.5%/34.5% (male/female). Subjects were diagnosed as bile duct occlusion icteria due to the tumors of pancreatic head. Not any surgical interventions were performed. Main clinical signs were progressive jaundice, no fever, weigh loss, white faeces, and large size of liver and pancreas. Hematological exams and imaging diagnosis including ultrasonography were carried out. Survival times of an average of 2.8 months for operable group and under 1 month for non operable group were noted
