Clinicopathological features of 28 patients with intraductal papillary tumor (IDPT) and 10 patients with mucinous cystic tumor (MCT) of the pancreas were studied. Both IDPT and MCT showed papillary projections of the epithelium with abundant mucus secretion in the ectatic ducts or cystic spaces. The patients with IDPT comprised 19 men and 9 women with a mean age of 64.9 years. Three fourths of the IDPTs were located in the pancreatic head, and the mean tumor size was 3.5 cm. Local recurrence was observed in one patient, but none died of IDPT. In contrast, all patients with MCT were women, with a mean age of 49.4 years. None of the MCTs arose in the head, and the mean tumor size was 7.1 cm. One patient died of MCT, but all of the others survived without recurrence. Eight IDPTs and three MCTs showed invasion into the surrounding pancreatic tissue. Muconodular infiltration was mainly observed in five IDPTs and one MCTs and tubular infiltration in three IDPTs and two MCTs. A characteristic histological finding associated with the muconodular infiltration in IDPT was subepithelial "mucin droplets" that appeared to represent a change in polarity of mucus secretion. The formation of such subepithelial "mucin droplets" may be the initial step of muconodular infiltration in IDPT. Muconodular infiltration in IDPT appears different morphologically and biologically from the mucinous carcinoma subtype of conventional invasive ductal carcinoma.

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).

D000231 Adenocarcinoma, Papillary An adenocarcinoma containing finger-like processes of vascular connective tissue covered by neoplastic epithelium, projecting into cysts or the cavity of glands or follicles. It occurs most frequently in the ovary and thyroid gland. (Stedman, 25th ed) Adenocarcinomas, Papillary,Papillary Adenocarcinoma,Papillary Adenocarcinomas

D018282 Cystadenocarcinoma, Mucinous A malignant cystic or semisolid tumor most often occurring in the ovary. Rarely, one is solid. This tumor may develop from a mucinous cystadenoma, or it may be malignant at the onset. The cysts are lined with tall columnar epithelial cells; in others, the epithelium consists of many layers of cells that have lost normal structure entirely. In the more undifferentiated tumors, one may see sheets and nests of tumor cells that have very little resemblance to the parent structure.
