We described a rare form of giant cell tumor of the pancreas composed of mixed osteoclastic/pleomorphic-type giant cell tumor with ductal adenocarcinoma. Immunohistochemical study showed positive staining of cytokeratin and epithelial membrane antigen for pleomorphic-type giant cells and ductal adenocarcinoma but negative for osteoclastic-type giant cells. Vimentin stained positive in both types of giant cells but negative in adenocarcinoma. Osteoclastic-type giant cells were strongly positive for CD68 and tartarate-resistant acid phosphatase was present in these cells, suggesting the osteoclast-like character. CD68 was negative for both pleomorphic-type giant cells and ductal adenocarcinoma. From these findings, we consider that this tumor might be a carcinosarcoma-like neoplasm consisting of both an epithelial and a histiocytic-mesenchymal component.

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
D010010 Osteoclasts A large multinuclear cell associated with the BONE RESORPTION. An odontoclast, also called cementoclast, is cytomorphologically the same as an osteoclast and is involved in CEMENTUM resorption. Odontoclasts,Cementoclast,Cementoclasts,Odontoclast,Osteoclast
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).
