Adenocarcinoma of the pancreas with a predominant intraductal component: a special variety of ductal adenocarcinoma.
A special variety of pancreatic cancer is characterized by a predominant intraductal proliferation with a low-grade proliferation rate. Immunohistochemical peculiarities and the lack of lymph node metastases despite an extended tumor, distinguish it from usual ductal pancreatic carcinoma. Adenocarcinoma of the pancreas with a predominant intraductal component is proposed for its classification.
