ABSTRACT
Undifferentiated carcinoma of the pancreas with osteoclast-like giant cells (UCPOGC) is a rare, highly malignant pancreatic exocrine neoplasm. Here, we report a case of UCPOGC in a 58-year-old man who presented with abdominal pain and weight loss. Abdomen computed tomography (CT) revealed a 5cm sized pancreatic body mass with peripheral enhancement. Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)-guided biopsy of the mass suggested a solid-pseudopapillary tumor of the pancreas with a marked degenerative change. Distal pancreatectomy and splenectomy were performed. The size of the mass was 5.4 × 4.8 cm and the cut surface showed necrosis and hemorrhage. A definite diagnosis of UCPOGC was made using the histopathology and immunohistochemical findings.
