Submucosal Gastric Tumor

Anaplastic carcinoma of the pancreas (ACP) is a rare neoplasm of the pancreas. ACPs are aggressive neoplasms with a poorer prognosis than poorly differentiated ductal adenocarcinomas of the pancreas. The 3-year survival rate of patients with ACP is less than 3%, with a life expectancy of 10 to 20 months. We describe here a 64-year-old man with ACP mimicking a submucosal gastric tumor. The patient was found to have a giant mass mimicking a submucosal tumor. Total gastrectomy with splenectomy and partial resection of the tail of the pancreas were performed. The pathological diagnosis was ACP, with immunohistological findings showing pleomorphic-type ACP. Because the surgery was noncurative, the patient received adjuvant chemotherapy with paclitaxel but died of peritoneal dissemination and multiple liver metastases 4 months after surgery.

Undifferentiated carcinoma of pancreas with osteoclastic giant cells is a rare tumor. The prognosis is slightly better than usual anaplastic carcinoma. It is said to have an epithelial origin. We present a case of 61-year-old female who presented with features of cholangitis and on evaluation found to have pancreatic mass. Pancreatic intraepithelial neoplasia was also present in our case, which is a feature less commonly noted in published literature.
