Overview

A case of pancreatic hepatoid carcinoma reveals elevated alpha-fetoprotein and treatment with chemotherapy, indicating potential improvements in diagnosis.

Key Points

  • Elevated serum alpha-fetoprotein levels aided in the diagnosis of pancreatic hepatoid carcinoma, and the patient underwent successful treatment.
  • The post-operative histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of poorly differentiated pancreatic hepatoid carcinoma.
  • Neoadjuvant chemotherapy combined with programmed cell death protein 1 antibody effectively led to a drop in serum alpha-fetoprotein levels.
  • The patient's recovery without complications indicates positive outcomes for standardizing treatment strategies for pancreatic hepatoid carcinoma.
