Acinar cell cystadenocarcinoma of human pancreas. 1981

B B Cantrell, and A L Cubilla, and R A Erlandson, and J Fortner, and P J Fitzgerald

A 7000 g cystic tumor replacing the body and tail of the pancreas was resected in a 64-year-old man. Numerous peritoneal implants confirmed its malignant nature. Light microscopy of both the primary tumor and the implants revealed distinctive cytoplasmic eosinophilia and apical granules. Ultrastructural examination demonstrated numerous zymogen granules and abundant, rough endoplasmic reticulum, which confirmed that the tumor was composed of acinar cells. No mucinous or serous differentiation was detected. We have not found report of a similar tumor.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008297 Male Males
D008854 Microscopy, Electron Microscopy using an electron beam, instead of light, to visualize the sample, thereby allowing much greater magnification. The interactions of ELECTRONS with specimens are used to provide information about the fine structure of that specimen. In TRANSMISSION ELECTRON MICROSCOPY the reactions of the electrons that are transmitted through the specimen are imaged. In SCANNING ELECTRON MICROSCOPY an electron beam falls at a non-normal angle on the specimen and the image is derived from the reactions occurring above the plane of the specimen. Electron Microscopy
D008875 Middle Aged An adult aged 45 - 64 years. Middle Age
D010190 Pancreatic Neoplasms Tumors or cancer of the PANCREAS. Depending on the types of ISLET CELLS present in the tumors, various hormones can be secreted: GLUCAGON from PANCREATIC ALPHA CELLS; INSULIN from PANCREATIC BETA CELLS; and SOMATOSTATIN from the SOMATOSTATIN-SECRETING CELLS. Most are malignant except the insulin-producing tumors (INSULINOMA).

D002277 Carcinoma A malignant neoplasm made up of epithelial cells tending to infiltrate the surrounding tissues and give rise to metastases.
