Abstract
Nine cases of pleomorphic giant cell carcinoma of the pancreas collected over a 26-year period are analyzed. The tumor presents a distinctive histology. The head of the pancreas appears to be the predominant site of the lesions in this study, and the cell origin is considered to be the ductal epithelium. Its clinical manifestation and rapid, fatal course of usually two months are almost indistinguishable from the more conventional pancreatic adenocarcinoma.Entities:
