Abstract
This case probes the potential temporal relationship between pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor (PNET) and depression. This patient has chronic symptoms of depression with no formal diagnosis until within a year of doctors suspecting her diagnosis of pancreatic cancer. An excisional biopsy confirmed a grade 1 neuroendocrine tumor (NET) in the pancreas, and postoperative psychiatric consultation confirmed continued elevated depression. This report presents an illustrative example of the ongoing research questions surrounding the relationship between the timing of a depression diagnosis and a PNET diagnosis. The depression-before-diagnosis relationship in pancreatic cancer patients is an observation that warrants further studies as depression could be a valuable early warning sign of pancreatic cancer.
