Sarcomatoid carcinoma is a rare, high-grade epithelial malignancy composed exclusively or predominantly of spindle cells often having features suggestive of epithelial derivation without features indica tive of a specific line of mesenchymal differentiation. Sarcomatous carcinomas occur in diverse locations throughout the body, including the upper respiratory tract, upper and lower digestive tracts, genitourinary tract, breast and thyroid glands, among others. Sarcomatoid carcinoma rarely presents in the pancreas. The current study presents the case of a 41-year-old male with a tumor mass in the uncinate of the pancreas and liver metastases. Histopathology and immunohistochemistry of the liver metastases were confirmatory of metastatic sarcomatoid carcinoma. To the best of our knowledge, only nine cases of pancreatic sarcomatoid carcinoma have been reported in literature.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
