title: [A case of pancreatic mixed acinar-endocrine carcinoma suggested by preoperative ultrasound-guided fine needle aspiration].
abstract: A 73-year-old man visited our hospital for consultation regarding a pancreatic tumor. Abdominal computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, and endoscopic ultrasound scan (EUS) revealed tumor 2 cm in diameter located in the pancreatic tail. EUS-guided fine needle aspiration (EUS-FNA) suggested pancreatic mixed acinar-endocrine carcinoma, and he underwent distal pancreatectomy. Few reports exist where preoperative EUS-FNA suggested pancreatic mixed acinar-endocrine carcinoma; thus, we report this case.
