  • Title: Acinar cell carcinoma of gastric ectopic pancreas origin: a case report and literature review.
    Author: Chen Y, Zhou N, Guo D, He X, Tang H, Wang L, Xu Y, Xu T.
    Journal: Diagn Pathol; 2023 Mar 16; 18(1):37. PubMed ID: 36927376.
    Abstract:
    BACKGROUND: Primary pancreatic-type acinar cell carcinoma of the stomach is extremely rare, often misdiagnosed, and of unclear origin. CASE PRESENTATION: We report the case of a primary pure pancreatic-type acinar cell carcinoma of the stomach in a 58-year-old woman. This is the first reported case to exhibit residual ectopic pancreatic tissue adjacent to the tumor serving as evidence for the origin of the carcinoma. Furthermore, we summarized the clinicopathological features of pancreatic-type acinar cell carcinoma of the stomach in order to further understand this solid tumor. CONCLUSIONS: Primary pancreatic-type acinar cell carcinoma of the stomach is rare. Data on tumors of this histological type are still relatively scarce, and more in-depth research is needed to elucidate their molecular biological characteristics and prognosis.
