Abstract

Introduction: Pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (PNETs) are rare neoplasms arising from the endocrine cells of the pancreas. They are typically diagnosed in older adults, with a peak incidence between 70 and 74 years. PNETs in young adults are uncommon and often present with non-specific symptoms, leading to delays in diagnosis and treatment. Case presentation: We report the case of a 22-year-old woman who presented with a large, non-functional PNET located in the tail of the pancreas. The patient initially complained of vague abdominal discomfort, nausea, and vomiting. Imaging studies revealed a large, heterogeneous mass in the left upper quadrant. The patient underwent a distal pancreatectomy, and histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of a poorly differentiated pancreatic neuroendocrine carcinoma. Conclusion: This case highlights the challenges in diagnosing PNETs in young adults. Clinicians should maintain a high index of suspicion for PNETs in young patients presenting with abdominal symptoms, even in the absence of classic hormonal syndromes. Early diagnosis and surgical intervention are crucial for improving outcomes in these patients.

Abstract

Traumatic diaphragmatic hernias (TDHs) are a serious complication of both blunt and penetrating trauma, often requiring prompt surgical intervention. While most TDHs present acutely, a subset of cases may have a delayed presentation, posing diagnostic and management challenges. This case report describes a 66-year-old woman who developed a delayed left-sided TDH following a motor vehicle accident, initially misdiagnosed as pneumothorax. A 66-year-old female presented to our hospital with complaints of severe left-sided chest pain and progressive dyspnea four days after a motor vehicle accident. Initial assessment at another hospital revealed rib fractures and pneumothorax, for which a chest tube was inserted. However, her respiratory symptoms persisted, prompting further evaluation. A chest X-ray and subsequent thoracoabdominal CT scan revealed a large left-sided diaphragmatic hernia with herniation of abdominal viscera into the thoracic cavity. The patient underwent emergency laparotomy and diaphragmatic hernia repair with primary closure. Postoperatively, the patient's symptoms improved significantly, and she was discharged home with complete resolution of her complaints. In conclusion, this case highlights the importance of maintaining a high index of suspicion for TDH in patients with a history of trauma, even in the absence of initial suggestive findings. Delayed presentation of TDH can occur, and a thorough evaluation, including imaging studies, is crucial for accurate diagnosis and timely management.
