Abstract

Background Neuroblastoma is the third most common tumor in children, after leukemia and retinoblastoma. The disease presents with a wide range of symptoms. Objective To assess the clinical profiles of children with neuroblastoma at Dr. Sardjito General Hospital from 2012-2016. Methods A retrospective review of all children with neuroblastoma under 18 years of age in the Children’s Ward of Dr. Sardjito General Hospital, Yogyakarta from 2012-2016. Patients diagnosed and treated in other hospitals were excluded. Data were taken from the Yogyakarta Pediatric Cancer Registry (YPCR) and medical records. Outcomes were assessed by patient status: alive, died, or lost to follow-up. Results A total of 40 subjects were included in this study. Six (15.0%) patients were diagnosed at <1 year of age, 26 (65.0%) patients at 1 to <5 years of age, 6 (15.0%) patients at 5 to <10 years of age, and 2 (5.0%) patients at ≥10 years of age. The male to female ratio was 1.5:1. Four (10.0%) patients had stage IV-S, 34 (85.0 %) patients had stage IV, and 2 (5.0 %) patients had stage II/III of the disease. Proptosis (40.0%) and abdominal mass (35.0%) were the most common chief complaints. Eight (20.0%) patients were alive at the end of observation, 15 (37.5%) died, and 17 (42.5%) were lost to follow-up. The deaths were mostly caused by sepsis. Conclusion Most patients are diagnosed at the age of 1 to <5 years, with a median age of 3 years. Proptosis is the most common chief complaint. Most patients present in stage IV. Overall survival rate is very low. The high numbers of lost to follow-up should be noted.

Abstract

Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is highly uncommon in patients < 20 years of age, at less than 0.1% of population.1 Pancreatic tumors in children and adolescents can develop from endocrine or exocrine cells. The tumor types include solid pseudopapillary tumor, ductal adenocarcinoma, pancreatoblastoma, acinar cell carcinoma, and pancreatic endocrine neoplasm (malignant and benign).2 Other types of tumors may be attached to it or secondarily engage the gland or emerge from other kinds of non-pancreatic cells inside the pancreas. The prevalent type of classic PDAC in adults is highly uncommon in children. We report here on a fifteen-year old girl with metastatic pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (mPDAC), who presented with abdominal discomfort and jaundice.
