Case Report: Medullary carcinoma of the pancreas with MLH1 promoter hypermethylation, induced deficient mismatch repair, successfully treated with an immune checkpoint inhibitor

We report the case of a 75-year-old woman with a pancreatic body mass. Pathological findings from endoscopic ultrasonography-guided fine-needle aspiration revealed medullary carcinoma of the pancreas (MCP). Deficient mismatch repair (dMMR) and high microsatellite instability (MSI-H) were identified...
