Abstract

Anaplastic carcinoma of pancreas (ACP) are rare pancreatic neoplasms. They are well known to be associated with more aggressive tumor behavior and less favorable prognosis than usual pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma. Endoscopic-guided fine needle aspiration (EUS-FNA) is now a widely accepted modality in diagnosis of pancreatic lesions. However, only a few reports are available describing cytological features of anaplastic carcinoma. Here, we report two cases of ACP diagnosed on EUS-FNA.

胰腺无定形（未分化）癌，一种罕见的变体：经内镜引导细针抽吸诊断。

胰腺无定形癌（ACP）是一种罕见的胰腺肿瘤。众所周知，与通常的胰腺导管腺癌相比，它们与更具侵袭性的肿瘤行为和较差的预后有关。内镜引导下细针抽吸（EUS-FNA）是目前广泛接受的胰腺病变诊断方法。然而，只有少数报道可以描述间变性癌的细胞学特征。在此，我们报告两例经EUS-FNA诊断为ACP的病例。
