ABSTRACT
Undifferentiated carcinomas with osteoclast-like giant cells are rare pancreatic and periampullary neoplasms that mimic giant cell tumors of bone morphologically. Recently, we experienced an osteoclast-like giant cell tumor arising in the tail of the pancreas. A 76-year-old male was admitted with epigastric discomfort and indigestion. Abdominal computed tomography (CT) and abdominal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed a 3x3-cm mass containing necrotic and hemorrhagic areas in the tail of the pancreas. A distal pancreatectomy and splenectomy were performed. Histological examination showed tumor cell components consisting of mononuclear pleomorphic cells admixed with osteoclastic giant cells. The final diagnosis was undifferentiated carcinoma with osteoclast-like giant cells with ductal adenocarcinoma in the pancreas.
