Pathomorphologic study of undifferentiated carcinoma in seven cases: relationship between tumor and pancreatic duct epithelium
2009
Background/purpose
By the time undifferentiated carcinoma is detected, it has formed a large mass, and it is reportedly difficult to pathologically observe its relationship with the pancreatic duct. In this study, we examined the pancreatic ducts of seven patients of surgical samples, and pathomorphologically investigated the relationship between the adenocarcinomatous and sarcomatous components and the pattern of tumor extension. In addition, we evaluated the usefulness of pancreatic juice cytology by comparison with the findings of the main pancreatic duct (MPD).
