for diagnosis. However, very low FE values are most probably associated with PEI, whereas high values (>500 microg/ g) allow its exclusion. The coecient of fat absorption is the accepted, but rarely used, gold standard for the diagnosis of steatorrhoea. It involves measuring total faeces over three days while consuming a fat- controlled diet. Alternative indirect tests include a 3C- labelled mixed triglyceride breath test and estimation of pancreatic secretion volume with secretin- MRCP. Both are limited by sensitivity and availability for use in routine clinical practice. Direct tests involve the collection of duodenal juices in response to a hormonal stimulus (secretin or CCK) and are the accepted reference standard allowing the quantication of pancreatic exocrine secretion.

13. A. Less than 10% of patients who achieve pain relief with EUS- guided coeliac plexus block will have ongoing pain relief after two years
• Pain is the predominant symptom in CP, occurring in 94% of cases
• Management includes alcohol cessation, oral analgesia, and targeted endoscopic/ surgical therapy for structural lesions (e.g. pseudocysts, ductal calculi)
• The pain relief of EUS- guided coeliac plexus block is often short- lived
Pain is the rst presentation of CP in most patients and is usually the most disabling symptom of the condition. Only about 6% of patients with CP report being pain free. There is no good evidence to suggest that ongoing inammation and parenchymal destruction will ultimately lead to reduction in pain over time. The mechanisms underlying pain in CP are complex and include structural pathology (e.g. pseudocysts, common bile duct, and duodenal obstruction) and ductal lesions (e.g. strictures, calculi) that may respond to targeted radiological or endoscopic therapy. However, a large group of patients will have neurogenic pain when no clear alternative source of pain can be identied. In these cases, cessation of alcohol, and possibly smoking, can improve pain. Pharmacological analgesia should follow the principles of the ‘pain relief ladder’ provided by the World Health Organization. Many patients will require opiates, in which case tramadol is preferred over morphine because of its association with fewer gastrointestinal side eects for the same degree of analgesia. Adjuvant analgesics may include antidepressants, anticonvulsants (e.g. gabapentin), and anxiolytics. EUS­guided coeliac plexus blocks can improve pain in half of patients, but the eect is often short with <0% experiencing pain relief for >24 weeks.

AIP is the pancreatic manifestation of IgG4- RD:an immune- mediated condition associated with bro- inammatory mass- forming lesions that can occur at nearly any anatomic site. It often presents as a multi- organ disease, and may be confused with malignancy, infection, or other inammatory conditions. There is a male preponderance and often a clinical history of atopy. Serum IgG4 levels are raised in most (65%– 80%) patients. However, they are non- specic and can be elevated in other malignant and inammatory conditions, and 5% of healthy individuals. While the classical imaging description of AIP is with a diuse sausage- shaped pancreas, half of patients have a discrete pancreatic head mass mimicking cancer. Localized lymphadenopathy is common and does not distinguish it from malignancy. Evidence of extra- pancreatic organ involvement supports the diagnosis. IgG4- RD is corticosteroid- responsive and prednisolone therapy would be the optimal rst- line therapy. Biliary stenting has a role if there is evidence of biliary sepsis or corticosteroid treatment will be delayed because of a suspicion of malignancy. Rituximab is currently reserved as third- line therapy for patients who have relapsed or developed side eects on steroids, usually after a trial of an immunomodulator (e.g. Azathioprine).

15. C. Pancreatoduodenectomy is often required
• Para- duodenal ‘groove’ pancreatitis occurs in the tissue between the duodenal wall and the pancreatic head
• It can be dierentiated from peri- pancreatic cancer and autoimmune pancreatitis by classical histopathology and imaging characteristics
• Pancreatoduodenectomy leads to complete pain relief in 75% of patients
Para- duodenal pancreatitis (groove pancreatitis) is an uncommon segmental CP aecting the ‘groove’ area between the pancreatic head, duodenum, and common bile duct. It often surrounds the minor ampulla and accessory duct. It predominantly aects males aged 40– 50years with a history of alcohol abuse, and can cause severe intermittent upper abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting (due to disordered gastric emptying and duodenal stenosis). Weight loss can be severe, mimicking pancreatic cancer.
Serum pancreatic and hepatic enzymes are often slightly elevated whereas serum carbohydrate antigen (CA 9- 9) and IgG4 levels are usually normal. The duodenum is usually oedematous, nodular, or cobblestone in appearance with stenosis on endoscopic evaluation. Histology from duodenal biopsies show duodenal wall cysts, Brunner gland hyperplasia, dilation of Santorini’s duct, and protein plaques in the pancreatic duct. Imaging with EUS, CT, or magnetic resonance (MR) may demonstrate focal thickening and abnormal enhancement of the second portion of the duodenum, and cystic change in the duodenal wall.
Conservative treatment options include analgesia and smoking/ alcohol cessation. Endoscopic stenting of the minor papilla has been reported, but long- term outcomes remain unclear. Pancreatoduodenectomy is the treatment of choice when the condition remains dicult to distinguish from pancreatic carcinoma or with persisting symptoms when resection leads to complete pain relief in >75%.

CHAPTER 5 | PANCREATICDISORDERS
16. A. EUS
• In potentially resectable pancreatic tumours, EUS is required prior to surgery to help identify lymph node involvement and vascular invasion
• Pre- operative biliary drainage in patients with biliary obstruction, without cholangitis secondary to resectable pancreatic tumours, is associated with a higher rate of post- operative complications
This patient has a potentially resectable pancreatic mass with mild biliary obstruction but no evidence of cholangitis or metastatic disease on cross- sectional imaging. In this setting, the European Society for Medical Oncology recommend further assessment with EUS, which is now widely used in the staging of pancreatic cancer prior to surgery. EUS can detect metastatic lymph nodes and vascular invasion not seen on imaging, and helps to predict overall resectability. It can also acquire tissue via ne needle aspiration, which can conrm the primary diagnosis and help stage disease by sampling atypical portocaval lymph nodes or incidental hepatic metastases. Percutaneous biopsy of a liver metastasis can be used in metastatic disease, but percutaneous biopsy of the pancreas is contra- indicated in potentially resectable cases because of the risk of peritoneal seeding. In uncomplicated biliary obstruction secondary to resectable pancreatic cancer, as in this case, pre- operative drainage should be avoided because it is associated with higher rates of post- operative complications. In cases of cholangitis where biliary decompression is necessary, further studies are needed to determine the best treatment modality (e.g. ERCP vs percutaneous transhepatic cholangiogram; plastic vs metal stenting). Staging laparoscopy in addition to imaging and EUS has been suggested by some groups in order to exclude peritoneal metastases but it is not widely practised.

17. E. Level positively correlates with serum bilirubin
• CA 9- 9 does not have the necessary sensitivity or specicity to facilitate its use in the diagnosis of pancreatic adenocarcinoma
• Cholestasis from any cause can cause an elevation in CA 9- 9
The carbohydrate antigen sialyl Lewis Ais more commonly referred to as ‘CA 9- 9’, the name of the monoclonal antibody currently used for its detection. Elevated CA 9- 9 is best studied in the context of pancreatic adenocarcinoma being elevated in >80% patients with advanced disease. However, it can also be elevated in a range of other benign and malignant conditions, and therefore does not carry the necessary sensitivity or specicity to be utilized in the diagnosis of pancreatic cancer. CA 9- 9 is related to the Lewis blood group antigens and only patients belonging to the Le (α- β+) or Le (α+β- ) blood groups will express the CA 9- 9 antigen. Approximately 6% of the caucasian population and 22% of the black population are Le(α- β- ) and do not generate the specic sialyl antigen. Conversely, CA 9- 9 strongly correlates with the level of bilirubin and can be elevated with any cause of cholestasis. CA 9- 9 does have signicant prognostic value and a failure of CA 9- 9 level to normalize after pancreatic cancer resection is associated with a poor prognosis and suggests residual disease. CA 9- 9 can also be used as a surrogate marker of response to chemotherapy with a ≥20%– 50% decrease in CA 9- 9 associated with a positive tumour response and increased survival. Apre- operative serum CA 9- 9 level ≥500 U/ ml predicts worse prognosis after surgery.

18. C. Multiple endocrine neoplasm type 1
• Multiple endocrine neoplasia type  is the main inherited cause of p- NETs
• Other rare inherited causes are Von Hippel– Lindau disease, neurobromatosis type  (von Recklinghausen’s syndrome) and tuberous sclerosis
P- NETs are a heterogeneous group of tumours derived from the endocrine pancreatic cells (e.g. α- , β- , δ- , and γ- cells) and represent just <2% of all pancreatic neoplasms. They express at least two of the following markers:chromogranin A, synaptophysin and/ or neuron- specic enolase, and can secrete a variety of neuropeptides leading to a range of clinical symptoms (e.g. carcinoid syndrome). Most p- NETs occur as sporadic tumours although a proportion occur as part of an inherited syndrome. Multiple endocrine neoplasia type  remains the most important inherited condition, responsible for 20%– 30% of gastrinomas and 5% of insulinomas. Other inherited conditions predisposing to p- NETS are Von Hippel– Lindau disease, neurobromatosis type  (von Recklinghausen’s syndrome), and tuberous sclerosis.

19. E. Serous cystadenoma
• Secondary cystic changes can occur in frankly malignant pancreatic adenocarcinomas
• Cystic lesions with malignant potential include IPMNs, mucinous cystic neoplasms, and solid pseudopapillary neoplasms
• Serous cystadenomas and simple cysts are benign
Three to fourteen per cent of patients undergoing routine imaging are now incidentally found to have pancreatic cysts. Multiple types are recognized with varying natural histories and malignant potential. The most aggressive cystic lesions are typically cystic changes in frankly malignant, otherwise solid lesions, such as ductal adenocarcinoma or neuroendocrine tumours. Lesions with malignant potential include IPMN and mucinous cystic neoplasm. Solid pseudopapillary neoplasm has a known, but low, risk for malignancy. The other end of the spectrum comprises benign neoplasms (such as serous cystadenoma) and non- neoplastic lesions (such as simple cysts, lymphoepithelial cysts). Serous cystadenomas can be macrocystic, which appear similar to mucinous lesions on imaging, or microcystic, which have a typical honeycomb appearance and central scar.

20. B. Surgical resection
• Absolute indications for surgical resection of IPMN include jaundice, pancreatic duct dilatation >0mm, and solid mass
• Patients not meeting criteria for surgery should have six- month follow- up in the rst year, and then yearly follow- up with MRI or EUS
IPMN can be classied according to their association with the pancreatic ducts. Main- duct IPMNs are characterized by dilation of the main pancreatic duct (MPD) of >5mm, for which other causes of ductal obstruction have been ruled out, are mostly located in the pancreatic head and carry the highest risk of malignancy. Branch duct IPMNs are grape- like cysts (>5mm) that communicate with the main duct. They have a preference for the uncinate process, can be multifocal, and have lower risk of malignancy. Absolute indications for surgical resection in patients with suspected IPMN

CHAPTER 5 | PANCREATICDISORDERS
include jaundice, an enhancing mural nodule ≥5mm, a solid mass, a positive malignant cytology, or a dilated MPD diameter measuring ≥0mm. Patients outside these criteria require six- month follow­up in the rst year, and then yearly follow- up with MRI/ EUS if no indications for surgery arise.
