Overview

Pancreatic cancer can be classified into malignant and borderline malignant. Duct cell carcinoma is the most common type of pancreatic cancer.

Classification

  • Cellular Classification of Pancreatic Cancer[1]
  • Pancreatic cancer includes the following carcinomas:
  • Malignant
  • Duct cell carcinoma (90% of all cases)
  • Acinar cell carcinoma
  • Adenosquamous carcinoma
  • Cystadenocarcinoma (serous and mucinous types)
  • Giant cell carcinoma
  • Invasive adenocarcinoma associated with cystic mucinous neoplasm or intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm
  • Mixed type (ductal-endocrine or acinar-endocrine)
  • Mucinous carcinoma
  • Pancreatoblastoma
  • Papillary-cystic neoplasm (Frantz tumor). This tumor has lower malignant potential and may be cured with surgery alone
  • Papillary mucinous carcinoma
  • Signet ring carcinoma
  • Small cell carcinoma
  • Unclassified
  • Undifferentiated carcinoma
  • Borderline Malignancies
  • Intraductal papillary mucinous tumor with dysplasia
  • Mucinous cystic tumor with dysplasia
  • Pseudopapillary solid tumor
