ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Adult pancreatoblastoma (PBL) is a rare pancreatic malignancy, with recent evidence suggesting a possible link to familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP). This study aims to review the latest evidence and explore a possible association between adult PBL and FAP.METHODS:
Two independent literature reviews were conducted (1) on PBL and FAP, and (2) on PBL in the adult population not diagnosed with FAP.RESULTS:
Out of 26 articles on PBL and FAP screened, 5 were selected for systematic review, including 1 additional case. We identified eight FAP-related PBL cases, with a median age of 40 (IQR 34-50). Of these, seven (87%) occurred in adults. We found 65 cases of adult PBL not FAP-related; thus, 7 out of 65 cases (10.7%) of adult PBL reported in the literature are associated with a clinical diagnosis of FAP or were carriers of APC germline pathogenic variants (GPVs).CONCLUSION:
Data suggest a non-random association between adult PBL and FAP. Further research is essential to optimise surveillance protocols and develop more effective treatment strategies.Palavras-chave
