Abstract

A 59-year-old male, was admitted to our hospital for a tumor of the pancreatic tail. Serum CEA and CA 19-9 levels were normal. Splenopancreasectomy found a desmoid tumour. A 69-year-old male was referred to our institution for chronic anemia and inflammatory syndrome with splenomegaly. Splenectomy showed an important splenic congestion and siderosis. Both patients had a type 2 diabetes mellitus. Furthermore, histological examination revealed pancreatic endocrine microadenomas. The two patients' postoperative course was unremarkable. Eleven and 24 months respectively after the diagnosis, the patients are alive and well, with no tumor recurrence.
