Abstract
- Ductal adenocarcinoma of pancreas is the most common pancreatic neoplasm and is the third leading cause of death due to cancer, with a 5-year survival of 8% only. Although pancreatic neoplasms are broadly classified into endocrine and exocrine variety based on cell of origin, on imaging they are classified into solid and cystic types. Pancreatic giant cell tumor (PGCT) is a very uncommon and aggressive pancreatic neoplasm. We report a case of PGCT presenting as a pancreatic tail mass and liver lesions with a morphological overlap with other cystic benign and malignant lesions of pancreas on imaging.
