[Pancreatic carcinoma with osteoclast-like giant cell tumor and portal vein fistula].
Osteoclast-like giant cell tumor of the pancreas (OGTP) is a rare neoplasm. We report a case of OGTP involving the head of the pancreas in a 64 year old woman with an uncommon complication--portal vein fistula. We present the diagnostic strategy and therapy. Postoperative outcome after Whipple's pancreatoduodenectomy was uneventful. The patient is still alive at 16 month after operation, without disease recurrence.
