[Title] Long-term survival in a patient with acinar cell carcinoma of pancreas. A case report and review of literature.

CONTEXT: Acinar cell carcinoma of the pancreas is a rare malignancy that may have acinar and endocrine differentiation.

Clinical practice guidelines exist for pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma.

However, treatment protocols for acinar cell carcinoma of the pancreas have not been standardized.

CASE REPORT: We describe a case of a 44-year-old woman presenting with low grade fever and mid-abdominal tenderness secondary to a pancreatic mass with acinar and endocrine differentiation metastatic to the liver.

The patient developed Clostridium difficile colitis and septic shock resulting in death 37 months after the diagnosis of acinar cell carcinoma of the pancreas.

CONCLUSION: This is a case of acinar cell carcinoma of the pancreas with an endocrine component, treated with multiple chemotherapeutic agents, in which the patient survived 37 months after diagnosis.

[Title] Liver metastases of pancreatic acinar cell carcinoma with marked nuclear atypia and pleomorphism diagnosed by EUS FNA cytology: a case report with emphasis on FNA cytological findings.

BACKGROUND: Acinar cell carcinoma of the pancreas is a rare neoplasm.

Unlike ductal adenocarcinomas, endocrine tumors, and solid pseudopapillary tumors of the pancreas with their characteristic FNA cytological features, acinar cell carcinomas pose a particular diagnostic challenge by sharing many cytomorphologic features with endocrine tumors of the pancreas.

Computed tomography revealed a 7.8 x 7.3 cm irregular, partially cystic mass in the body and tail of the pancreas, and two lesions in the liver compatible with metastases.

FNA cytology revealed abundant, loosely cohesive clusters of malignant epithelial cells with vaguely acinar and trabecular formations.

A pancreatic endocrine tumor was suspected initially, but acinar cell carcinoma of the pancreas was confirmed by immunohistochemistry, cytochemical and ultrastructural studies.

CONCLUSION: We describe a case of pancreatic acinar cell carcinoma with unusual cytomorphologic features mimicking an endocrine tumor of pancreas, encountered in endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine needle aspiration of a metastatic liver mass and discuss the diagnostic approach for this unusual pancreatic tumor in fine needle aspiration cytology.

[Title] CT and MRI features of acinar cell carcinoma of the pancreas with pathological correlations.

AIM: To document the computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) features of acinar cell carcinoma of the pancreas and to correlate them with pathological findings to determine the unique imaging manifestations of this rare subtype tumour of the pancreas.

MATERIALS AND METHODS: From January 1986 to August 2008, six patients (five men and one woman, mean age 61.3 years) with histologically proven acinar cell carcinoma of the pancreas underwent CT (n=6) and MRI (n=4) examinations.

RESULTS: The tumours were distributed in the head (n=4), body (n=1), and tail (n=1) of the pancreas.

In both CT and MRI, the tumours enhanced less than the adjacent normal pancreatic parenchyma.

CONCLUSION: Acinar cell carcinoma of the pancreas has distinct imaging features, and both CT and MRI are useful and complementary imaging methods.

[Title] Two cases of 18 F-FDG PET/CT findings in acinar cell carcinoma of the pancreas.

The patients consisted of a 60-year-old woman and a 72-year-old man with no significant symptoms, who were both referred to the hospital due to the presence of large pancreatic tumors.

They underwent F-18 FDG PET/CT and subsequently a pancreaticoduodenectomy and acinar cell carcinoma in the pancreas was proven histopathologically.

This report thus documents 2 cases of acinar cell carcinoma that showed contrasting histopathologic and F-18 FDG PET/CT findings.

[Title] [Acinar cell carcinoma of the pancreas with predominant intraductal growth: report of a case].

[Transliterated title] Carcinome à cellules acineuses du pancréas, de développement essentiellement intracanalaire: à propos d'un cas.

Acinar cell carcinoma (ACC) of the pancreas accounts for approximately 1% of all exocrine pancreatic tumours.

Abdominal computed tomography showed a hypodense, well-demarcated, heterogeneous lesion, in the head of the pancreas, measuring 4.2 cm in diameter.

There was a marked dilatation of the main pancreatic duct upstream, with tumour spreading within this duct.

The diagnosis of ACC was made on the fine needle aspiration cytology performed during endoscopic ultrasound examination.

On the pancreaticoduodenectomy specimen, the dilated main pancreatic duct (2.5 cm in diameter) was filled by an exophytic tumour.

Histological examination showed an ACC, with predominant intraductal growth (main and accessory pancreatic ducts), with pancreatic parenchymal and duodenal invasion.

[Title] A case of pancreatic acinar cell carcinoma metastatic to skin.

We report a rare case of pancreatic acinar cell carcinoma with widespread metastases in a 68-year-old woman who presented with subcutaneous nodules as the initial symptom.

Computed tomography showed a pancreatic mass with hepatic tumors and enlarged lymph nodes besides ring-enhanced subcutaneous nodules.

Histological analysis of a colonic polypoid lesion revealed carcinoma with endocrine and acinar differentiation compatible with pancreatic origin.

Regrettably, she died of a cerebral infarction without any treatment, and autopsy findings confirmed our diagnosis.

[Title] 672 patients with acinar cell carcinoma of the pancreas: a population-based comparison to pancreatic adenocarcinoma.

BACKGROUND: Acinar cell carcinoma (ACC) is a rare cancer of the pancreas accounting for approximately 1% of nonendocrine tumors.

OBJECTIVE: Our goal was to evaluate a large population-based cohort of patients with ACC and compare their demographic factors and outcomes to those of patients with pancreatic adenocarcinoma (PA).

The mean age at the time of diagnosis was significantly lower for ACC than PA (56 years vs 70 years, P < .001).

Multivariate Cox proportional hazards regression model results suggested patients with ACC were less likely to die (hazard ratio = 0.241; 95% confidence interval, 0.22-0.27) than patients with PA after controlling for gender, race, stage, SEER region of diagnosis, and surgical resection status.

[Title] Subcutaneous fat necrosis/panniculitis and polyarthritis associated with acinar cell carcinoma of the pancreas: a rare presentation of pancreatitis, panniculitis and polyarthritis syndrome.

He was under the care of hospice for end-stage acinar cell carcinoma of the pancreas.

An incisional biopsy revealed lobular inflammation of subcutaneous fat, focal fat necrosis with saponification/ghost cells and scattered foreign-body type giant cells consistent with pancreatic fat necrosis/pancreatic panniculitis.

This is hypothesized to be initiated by autodigestion of subcutaneous fat secondary to systemic spillage of excess digestive pancreatic enzymes.

This report, along with the patient's clinical findings, was consistent with PPP syndrome: pancreatic disease, polyarthritis and panniculitis.

Although the pancreatic disease of PPP syndrome usually includes pancreatitis, this case represents a report of polyarthritis and panniculitis occurring in the presence of pancreatic carcinoma.

[Title] Acinar cell carcinoma of the pancreas: an institutional series of resected patients and review of the current literature.

INTRODUCTION: Acinar cell carcinoma (ACC) is a rare, malignant neoplasm with a generally poor prognosis.

MATERIALS AND METHODS: The Johns Hopkins pathology prospective database was reviewed from 1988 to 2006 to identify patients with pancreatic neoplasms possessing features of acinar cell differentiation.

Overall median survival and disease-free survival were 33 and 25 months, respectively, as compared to a median survival of 18 months for pancreatic adenocarcinoma.

CONCLUSION: Acinar cell carcinomas are rare, aggressive neoplasms that are difficult to diagnose and treat.

These lesions have a better prognosis than the more common pancreatic adenocarcinomas.

[Title] A case of acinar cell carcinoma of the pancreas that formed extensive tumor thrombus of the portal vein.

Abdominal ultrasonography and computed tomography revealed a large mass in the body and tail of the pancreas, which directly invaded the stomach and the spleen.

The specimens obtained from portal tumor thrombus were histologically compatible with acinar cell carcinoma.

Portal tumor thrombus is a rare condition in pancreatic tumors; however, it seems to be important to differentiate tumor thrombus from blood thrombus of the portal vein in order to know the true clinical stage and provide a suitable treatment.

[Title] Necrotizing panniculitis: a skin condition associated with acinar cell carcinoma of the pancreas.

Pancreatic panniculitis (PP) is a rare cutaneous eruption that is associated with severe pancreatic disease.

Thorough investigation revealed stage IV acinar cell carcinoma of the pancreas.

Panniculitis should be kept in mind in the differential diagnosis of inflamed appearing nodules and pustules with an erythematous base, particularly when they are progressive and unrelenting.

[Title] Cytology of pancreatic acinar cell carcinoma.

Acinar cell carcinoma (ACC) of the pancreas is extremely uncommon and its cytologic features have rarely been described.

We describe the cytologic features of cases we have seen, review the literature regarding its cytologic features and discuss the pitfalls that may be encountered and the use of immunohistochemistry for its diagnosis.

We searched our databases for all cases of histologically confirmed pancreatic ACC which had undergone prior fine needle aspiration (FNA) of the primary pancreatic lesion.

Four cases of pancreatic ACC were found that had undergone FNA prior to histologic confirmation of the diagnoses.

All masses were in the head of the pancreas, 2 had apparent peri-pancreatic adenopathy and 1 had an apparent liver metastasis.

Original cytologic diagnoses included "acinar cell carcinoma," "pancreatic endocrine tumor," "favor neuroendocrine tumor, low-grade" and "non-diagnostic specimen."

The cytologic features included small to moderate-sized loose groups with numerous single cells, prominent acinar formation, little anisonucleosis and prominent nucleoli.

The cytologic features showed significant overlap with those of pancreatic endocrine tumors.

[Title] Acinar cell carcinoma of the pancreas with intraductal growth: report of a case.

Acinar cell carcinomas (ACCs) of the pancreas are rare neoplasms, accounting for approximately 1% of all exocrine pancreatic tumors.

This type of tumor is known to be aggressive, although the survival rates are somewhat better than they are for ductal carcinoma.

This report presents a case of ACC of the pancreas with intraductal papillary growth and lymph node metastasis.

[Title] CT and MRI features of pure acinar cell carcinoma of the pancreas in adults.

OBJECTIVE: We sought to describe the CT and MRI features of pure acinar cell carcinoma of the pancreas in adults.

MATERIALS AND METHODS: Eleven patients (six women and five men; mean age, 64 years) with acinar cell carcinoma, documented by pathologic examination of resected specimens, underwent CT (n=9) or MRI (n=2) examinations.

In addition, they assessed the presence of calcification, pancreatic or bile duct dilation, and metastases.

RESULTS: Masses were distributed throughout the pancreas (head, n=5; body, n=2; and tail, n=4).

All masses enhanced less than the surrounding pancreas.

Common bile and pancreatic duct dilatation was present in two and three patients, respectively.

CONCLUSION: Pure acinar cell carcinoma of the pancreas is usually an exophytic, oval or round, well-marginated, and hypovascular mass on CT and MRI.

[Title] Acinar cell carcinoma of the pancreas: is the absence of neuroendocrine component related to a more malignant behavior?

BACKGROUND/AIMS: Acinar cell carcinomas are uncommon malignant tumors of the pancreas, accounting for 1-2% of all the cases of exocrine pancreatic tumor.

Some authors have estimated acinar cell tumors to be as aggressive as ductal adenocarcinoma of the pancreas whereas other series showed acinar cell tumors to have a favorable clinical outcome.

METHODOLOGY: With the aim to evaluate the possible relationship between the presence of neuroendocrine differentiation and behavior of these tumors, the authors reviewed all patients presenting acinar cell carcinoma of the pancreas in the last 5 years with emphasis in the immunohistochemical evaluation.

This data suggests that this tumor is less aggressive than ductal adenocarcinoma and even with nodal involvement, long-term survival after complete resection can be achieved.

Due to the rarity of this pancreatic tumor, this relationship remains to be confirmed with a multicentric study including a larger number of patients.

[Title] Alpha-fetoprotein-producing pancreatic acinar cell carcinoma.

A pancreatic tail tumor, instead of liver tumor, was detected.

He underwent elective distal pancreatectomy and splenectomy and the pathology turned out to be acinar cell carcinoma of the pancreas.

No cancer recurrence was noted after 3 years of follow-up.

Alpha-fetoprotein is commonly used as a tumor marker to screen for hepatocellular carcinoma in high-risk patients.

However, elevated alpha-fetoprotein could occur in a much rarer disease, acinar cell carcinoma of the pancreas.

[Title] Long-term survival after a repetitive surgical approach in a patient with acinar cell carcinoma of the pancreas and recurrent liver metastases: report of a case.

Acinar cell carcinoma is a relatively rare malignant neoplasm, which represents 1%-2% of all pancreatic exocrine tumors.

This report concerns a case of a long-term survivor of metastatic acinar cell carcinoma who was successfully treated with repetitive surgery.

A 62-year-old man underwent a distal pancreatectomy for a pancreatic tumor, which was histologically diagnosed as an acinar cell carcinoma.

The patient has remained disease-free for 22 months since the last surgery and has survived 65 months since the initial diagnosis.

Although no consensus has been reached on surgery for metastatic acinar cell carcinoma, the current case has important implications for establishing an appropriate treatment strategy.

[Title] [A case of liver metastasis of pancreatic acinar cell carcinoma treated with S-1 and intra-arterial CDDP combination therapy].

A 55-year-old man underwent a pylorus-preserving pancreatoduodenectomy in August 2006 because of acinar cell carcinoma of the head of the pancreas.

We suggest that combination chemotherapy with oral S-1 and intra-arterial CDDP can be effective treatments for pancreatic acinar cell carcinoma.

[Title] Pancreatic ducts as an important route of tumor extension for acinar cell carcinoma of the pancreas.

Acinar cell carcinoma (ACC) of the pancreas is very rare, which usually grows expansively.

Recently, a variant of ACC with predominant growth in the pancreatic ducts has been proposed, and is speculated to have potentially less aggressive behavior.

The aim of this study was to investigate how the pancreatic duct system is related to the growth and extension of ACC.

We reviewed the detailed gross and histologic features of 13 cases of ACC, of which 7 (54%) showed intraductal polypoid growth (IPG) of the tumor in the large pancreatic ducts with a mean IPG length of 24.8 mm.

Tumors with IPG were found to spread characteristically along the pancreatic ducts as extending polypoid projections, filling the ducts and destroying the duct walls, although tumors did not tend to extend beyond the pancreatic parenchyma.

Comparison of the clinicopathologic characteristics showed that ACC with IPG had less infiltrative features including lymphatic, venous, and neural invasion, formation of tumor thrombus in the portal vein, nodal metastasis, and invasion beyond the pancreas to the surrounding organs; death in only 1 case (14%) of ACC with IPG was the result of ACC itself.

Intraductal dissemination of ACC in pancreatic ducts was proven in 1 case of ACC with IPG.

[Title] Acinar cell carcinoma of the pancreas in the United States: prognostic factors and comparison to ductal adenocarcinoma.

INTRODUCTION: Pancreatic acinar cell carcinoma (ACC) is a rare tumor with poorly defined prognosis.

OBJECTIVE: Our objective was to compare a large population of patients with ACC to pancreatic ductal cell adenocarcinoma (DCC) in order to determine distinguishing characteristics and to assess survival.

METHODS: Patients were identified from the National Cancer Database.

Patients with ACC were more likely to be male, white, and have larger tumor size, no nodal involvement, or pancreatic tail tumors.

Aggressive surgical resection with negative margins is associated with long-term survival in these more favorable pancreatic cancers.

[Title] Acinar cell carcinoma of the pancreas in a young patient with chronic pancreatitis.

BACKGROUND: Acinar cell carcinoma (ACC) is a rare malignancy of the pancreas arising from acinar cells.

Unlike ductal adenocarcinoma, this tumor rarely presents with pancreatitis.

METHODS: We present a case of ACC associated with chronic calcifying pancreatitis, and a review of the literature focusing on diagnosis and management.

CONCLUSIONS: The clinical presentation of ACC of the pancreas is not specific and the tumor can be under-diagnosed when associated with chronic pancreatitis.

[Title] [Acinar cell carcinoma of the pancreas in Korea--clinicopathologic analysis of 27 patients from korean literature and 2 cases from our hospital--].

BACKGROUND/AIMS: Acinar cell carcinoma (ACC) of the pancreas is a rare malignancy.

ACC has been considered a cancer with poor prognosis due to frequent metastasis, a high recurrence rate, and low resectability.

RESULTS: ACC was more common in male, and age at diagnosis ranged from 25 to 68 years (median 54).

Liver was most common organ of metastasis at diagnosis and recurrence after operation.

[Title] Acinar cell carcinoma of the pancreas metastatic to the ovary: a report of 4 cases.

We report 4 cases of acinar cell carcinoma of the pancreas, 3 presenting as metastases in the ovary, the first report of this circumstance, which may pose a broad differential diagnosis and caused significant diagnostic difficulty in all the cases.

In 3 cases, the ovarian tumors were detected before the pancreatic tumor; in 1 case, a large abdominal mass and ovarian tumors were discovered synchronously.

Two cases had a predominant acinar growth pattern of cells with brightly eosinophilic, granular cytoplasm.

The main differential diagnostic consideration was well-differentiated neuroendocrine neoplasm (carcinoid tumor); positive immunostaining with antibodies against chymotrypsin and trypsin and negative immunostaining with antibodies against synaptophysin and chromogranin helped exclude this diagnosis.

We observed focal alpha-inhibin immunostaining in 2 cases, which may represent a potential diagnostic pitfall, as a Sertoli cell tumor or unusual granulosa cell tumor may also enter the differential diagnosis.

Inclusion of antibodies against the pancreatic enzymes chymotrypsin and trypsin in the immunohistochemical panel is critical in establishing the correct diagnosis and should be considered when evaluating ovarian tumors with architectural (mainly acinar) and cytologic (granular eosinophilic cytoplasm) characteristics that should bring a metastatic acinar cell carcinoma into consideration.

[Title] Primary acinar cell carcinoma of the ampulla of Vater.

Acinar cell carcinoma of the pancreatobiliary system is a relatively rare malignant neoplasm arising usually in the pancreatic parenchyma.

The patient underwent a curative surgical operation, and histopathological examination revealed that the tumor was confined to the ampulla of Vater with no continuity to the pancreatic parenchyma.

The tumor cells showed acinar or tubular arrangement with eosinophilic to basophilic granular cytoplasm, findings identical to those of acinar cell carcinoma of the pancreas.

From these findings, we concluded that the tumor was primary acinar cell carcinoma arising in the ampulla of Vater, probably originating from heterotopic pancreatic tissue.

This is the first reported case of primary acinar cell carcinoma in the ampulla of Vater.

[Title] Pancreatic acinar cell carcinoma: a multi-institutional study.

INTRODUCTION: The presentation and outcome of patients with acinar cell carcinoma (ACC) of the pancreas compared to the more common ductal cell adenocarcinoma (DCA) may be distinct.

American Joint Commission on Cancer tumor stages were stage I (two), stage II (eight), stage III (four), and stage IV (three).

This is in contrast to 1,608 patients with ductal cell adenocarcinoma who underwent resection identified from recent literature reports where the average median survival was only 24 months.

CONCLUSION: Acinar cell carcinoma of the pancreas is rare and appears to have a presentation and outcome distinct from the more common pancreatic DCA.

[Title] Pancreatic acinar cell carcinoma with intracranial metastasis in a dog.

This report concerns a case of pancreatic carcinoma with widespread metastases to many organs including intracranial metastasis.

Based on gross and microscopic examination, the primary tumor cells were located in the left lobe of the pancreas and widespread metastasis was found into various organs, including the brain, lungs, liver, kidneys, tonsils, serosal surface of the esophagus, and submandibular, pulmonary hilar, mediastinal, and mesenteric lymph nodes.

This case indicates that pancreatic adenocarcinoma should be included in the differential diagnosis list when cervical neck masses are detected.

[Title] The monoclonal anti-BCL10 antibody (clone 331.1) is a sensitive and specific marker of pancreatic acinar cell carcinoma and pancreatic metaplasia.

Acinar cell carcinoma (ACC) is a rare pancreatic cancer which may be difficult to distinguish from other solid nonadenocarcinoma tumors.

The diagnosis depends on the demonstration of acinar differentiation, obtained with antibodies recognizing various pancreatic enzymes that, although specific, show different sensitivity.

The C-terminal portion of the BCL10 protein shows homology with carboxyl ester hydrolase (CEH), an enzyme produced by pancreatic acinar cells.

We investigated the usefulness of a C-terminal BCL10 monoclonal antibody in the diagnosis of ACCs.

We examined normal pancreases and different pancreatic tumors including ACCs, mixed acinar-endocrine carcinomas, ductal adenocarcinomas, mucinous, serous, solid pseudopapillary, and endocrine neoplasms.

In addition, various normal tissues and cases of pancreatic metaplasia of the gastroesophageal mucosa, cases of ectopic pancreas, gastrointestinal endocrine tumors, salivary and breast acinic cell carcinomas, gastric adenocarcinomas with and without acinar differentiation, and hepatocellular carcinomas were studied.

BCL10 immunoreactivity paralleled that of CEH and was restricted to acinar cells of normal and ectopic pancreas, of pancreatic metaplasia, and of ACCs.

The anti-BCL10 antibody was more sensitive in detecting ACCs and pancreatic metaplasia than antibodies directed against other pancreatic enzymes.

We suggest using BCL10 antibody for diagnosing pancreatic tumors and whenever an acinar differentiation is suspected in gastrointestinal neoplastic and metaplastic lesions.

[Title] Expression pattern of claudins 5 and 7 distinguishes solid-pseudopapillary from pancreatoblastoma, acinar cell and endocrine tumors of the pancreas.

Solid-pseudopapillary tumor (SPT) of the pancreas is characterized by a discohesive appearance of the neoplastic cells.

The nuclear localization of beta-catenin is also a feature of SPT that helps in differential diagnosis.

This latter includes pancreatic endocrine tumor (PET) as SPT may show neuroendocrine differentiation, and pancreatic acinar cell carcinoma (ACC) and pancreatoblastoma (PB) that may often show nuclear beta-catenin staining.

However, the role of additional cell-cell adhesion systems remains to be elucidated in SPT, particularly that of claudins that are essential components of tight junctions showing modulated expression in diverse tumor types.

We studied 20 SPT, 20 nonfunctioning PET, 7 ACC, 2 PB, and their matched normal pancreas for the immunohistochemical expression of claudin family members 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 7, beta-catenin and E-cadherin.

[Title] Acinar cell carcinoma arising from an ectopic pancreas.

We herein report a rare case of ectopic pancreatic acinar cell carcinoma (ACC) which presented as a submucosal tumor of the pylorus.

We diagnosed a gastrointestinal stromal tumor or malignant lymphoma preoperatively, and decided to perform an operation in order to confirm the diagnosis and select the optimal treatment.

Intraoperatively, the mass in the pylorus invaded the pancreatic head, and the lymph node in the hepatoduodenal ligament was swollen.

We performed a pancreaticoduodenectomy as a radical excision.

Histopathologically, the tumor was identified as pancreatic ACC with lymph node metastasis.

Because of the tumor location, we considered the tumor to have originated from the ectopic pancreatic tissue in the stomach.

[Title] Acinar cell carcinoma of the pancreas: clinical analysis of 115 patients from Pancreatic Cancer Registry of Japan Pancreas Society.

OBJECTIVES: Acinar cell carcinoma (ACC) of the pancreas is a rare tumor, and many aspects remain unclear because no large-scale clinical studies have been conducted.

METHODS: The present study investigated the clinical characteristics, treatment, and therapeutic outcomes of 115 patients registered in the Pancreatic Cancer Registry of the Japan Pancreas Society, and therapeutic plans were reviewed.

CONCLUSIONS: Confirming the diagnosis of ACC preoperatively is difficult, but this diagnosis should be kept in mind while planning surgery for ordinary pancreatic cancer.

Once the diagnosis has been confirmed, a possibility of surgical resection should be pursued to achieve better prognosis.

[Title] Pancreatic acinar cell carcinoma extending into the common bile and main pancreatic ducts.

Acinar cell carcinoma (ACC) of the pancreas is relatively rare, accounting for only approximately 1% of all exocrine pancreatic tumors.

A 69-year-old man was found to have a mass lesion measuring approximately 4 cm in diameter in the pancreatic head on ultrasound, abdominal dynamic CT, and percutaneous transhepatic cholangiography.

Histopathologically, the pancreatic head tumor invaded the main pancreatic duct (MPD) and CBD with extension into the CBD in a form of tumor cast.

The tumor cells consisted of a solid proliferation with abundant eosinophilic cytoplasm and round nuclei in an acinar and trabecular fashion.

A 55-year-old man with upper abdominal pain and nausea, had a cystic lesion approximately 3 cm in size in the pancreatic tail on CT.

The tumor cells resembled acinar cells in solid growths.

[Title] Curative resection of a primarily unresectable acinar cell carcinoma of the pancreas after chemotherapy.

BACKGROUND: Acinar cell carcinoma (ACC) represents only 1-2% of pancreatic cancers and is a very rare malignancy.

At the time of diagnosis only 50% of the tumors appear to be resectable.

MRI-imaging showed a tumor within the head of the pancreas concomitant with Serum-Lipase and CA19-9.

Endosonographic fine needle biopsy confirmed an acinar cell carcinoma.

[Title] Pancreatic acinar cell carcinomas with prominent ductal differentiation: Mixed acinar ductal carcinoma and mixed acinar endocrine ductal carcinoma.

BACKGROUND: Pancreatic acinar cell carcinomas (ACCs) are clinically and pathologically distinct from pancreatic ductal adenocarcinomas (PDAs).

DESIGN: Cases of pancreatic ACCs with significant ductal differentiation were identified in the surgical pathology databases of 2 academic centers.

Ten were located in the head of the pancreas.

All cases showed significant evidence of both acinar and ductal differentiation, estimated to be at least 25% of the neoplastic cells, and 3 cases in addition had endocrine differentiation in more than 25% of cells.

Five cases were predominately acinar with intracellular and sometimes extracellular mucin ("mucinous acinar cell carcinoma" pattern).

Six cases seemed more mixed with areas recapitulating typical PDAs whereas the other portions of the tumors seemed akin to typical acinar cell carcinomas ("combined acinar and ductal" pattern).

CONCLUSION: Despite the early embryologic divergence of acinar and ductal cell lineages, rare pancreatic tumors have both acinar and ductal differentiation, usually predominantly the former.

[Title] Alpha-fetoprotein-positive carcinoma of the pancreas: a case report.

We report on the case of a 19-year-old male with an alpha-fetoprotein (AFP)-producing acinar cell carcinoma of the pancreas.

Originally, AFP was thought to be specific to hepatocellular carcinoma and germ cell tumours.

Rare cases of acinar cell carcinomas of the pancreas were found to express AFP.

When present, AFP expression is useful for diagnosis and as a marker for monitoring therapeutic response and recurrence of the disease.

[Title] [Pancreatic acinar cell carcinoma successfully treated with combination of oral TS-1 and intra-arterial cisplatin].

Pancreatic acinar cell carcinomas are rare, and little is reported on their chemotherapy.

We report a 49-year old male patient with pancreatic acinar cell carcinoma and multiple liver metastases, which responded to oral TS-1 and hepatic arterial infusion of cisplatin.

The patient underwent a partial hepatectomy, MCT abrasions and excision of the pancreatic tumor.

Postoperative pathological studies revealed metastases of acinar cell carcinoma to the liver and lymph nodes; the primary lesion was undetermined.

Abdominal CT one year after surgery revealed a pancreatic body tumor, which was surgically removed.

Pathological studies showed primary pancreatic acinar cell carcinoma, while previous metastases remained under control.

To summarize, TS-1 and cisplatin can be effective treatments for pancreatic acinar cell carcinomas.

[Title] Pancreatic panniculitis associated with acinar cell pancreatic carcinoma.

BACKGROUND: Pancreatic panniculitis is a rare entity, occurring in less than 2% of patients with pancreatic disorders.

Skin manifestations may precede the diagnosis of a pancreatic disease by many months.

When treatable, correction of the underlying pancreatic disorder may lead to prompt resolution of the panniculitis.

The clinical and histologic features of pancreatic panniculitis are discussed, with a brief review of the differential diagnosis and clinical approach to panniculitis.

CONCLUSIONS: Pancreatic panniculitis is a recognizable clinical entity with characteristic histologic features that may resolve with treatment of the underlying pancreatic disorder.

[Title] Fluorescence in situ hybridization to visualize genetic abnormalities in interphase cells of acinar cell carcinoma, ductal adenocarcinoma, and islet cell carcinoma of the pancreas.

OBJECTIVE: To use fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) to visualize genetic abnormalities in interphase cell nuclei (interphase FISH) of acinar cell carcinoma, ductal adenocarcinoma, and islet cell carcinoma of the pancreas.

PATIENTS AND METHODS: Between April 4, 2007, and December 4, 2008, interphase FISH was used to study paraffin-embedded preparations of tissue obtained from 18 patients listed in the Mayo Clinic Biospecimen Resource for Pancreas Research with a confirmed diagnosis of acinar cell carcinoma, ductal adenocarcinoma, islet cell carcinoma, or pancreas without evidence of neoplasia.

RESULTS: FISH abnormalities were observed in 12 (80%) of 15 patients with pancreatic cancer: 5 of 5 patients with acinar cell carcinoma, 5 of 5 patients with ductal adenocarcinoma, and 2 (40%) of 5 patients with islet cell carcinoma.

All 3 specimens of pancreatic tissue without neoplasia had normal FISH results.

Gains of CTNNB1 due to trisomy 3 occurred in each tumor with acinar cell carcinoma but in none of the other tumors in this study.

FISH abnormalities of all other cancer genes studied were observed in all forms of pancreatic tumors in this investigation.

CONCLUSION: FISH abnormalities of CTNNB1 due to trisomy 3 were observed only in acinar cell carcinoma.

FISH abnormalities of genes implicated in familial cancer, tumor progression, and the 5-fluorouracil pathway were common but were not associated with specific types of pancreatic cancer.

[Title] Acinar cell carcinoma versus solid pseudopapillary tumor of the pancreas in children: a comparison of two rare and overlapping entities with review of the literature.

Primary epithelial tumors of the pancreas are extremely uncommon in children, and among these, acinar cell carcinoma (ACC) is the most rare.

The histologic diagnosis of ACC was supported by both immunohistochemistry and electron microscopy.

Despite its rarity, ACC should be kept in the differential diagnosis of pediatric pancreatic exocrine tumors.

We also provide a comparison with an example of solid pseudopapillary tumor, another relatively infrequent epithelial tumor of the pancreas in the young.

We review the relevant literature addressing the clinical and pathologic features of ACC and its distinction from other pancreatic neoplasms.

[Title] [Acinar cell carcinomas and pancreatoblastomas: related but not the same].

Acinar cell carcinomas and pancreatoblastomas are malignant tumors of the pancreas, showing predominantly acinar differentiation characterized by the immunohistochemical expression of pancreatic enzymes.

Histologically, they usually display acinar and/or solid patterns, but may occasionally also exhibit cystic structures.

Acinar cell carcinomas predominantly occur in adults, pancreatoblastomas in children.

Pancreatoblastomas, in contrast to acinar cell carcinomas, are potentially curable.

[Title] Pancreatic-type acinar cell carcinoma of the stomach beneath a focus of pancreatic metaplasia of the gastric mucosa.

Acinar cell carcinoma is an uncommon type of carcinoma of the pancreas that can exceptionally arise in ectopic pancreatic tissue.

Herein, we report a case of a 52-year-old man with pancreatic-type acinar cell carcinoma of the stomach and concomitant pancreatic metaplasia of the adjacent nonneoplastic gastric mucosa.

There was neither clinical nor radiographic evidence of a tumor in the pancreas itself.

The neoplastic cells and those of the adjacent metaplastic mucosa were both strongly immunoreactive for alpha-1-antitrypsin, consistent with pancreatic acinar cell differentiation.

Ectopic pancreatic-type acinar cell carcinoma is an extremely rare condition, having been previously reported only in 5 occasions, none of them in association with pancreatic acinar cell metaplasia of the gastric mucosa.

[Title] Mixed acinar-endocrine carcinoma of the pancreas with intraductal growth into the main pancreatic duct: Report of a case.

The patient was a 75-year-old asymptomatic man, in whom a tumor mass in the pancreatic tail had been found 6 months earlier.

Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography showed a filling defect in the main pancreatic duct.

The tumor consisted of a lobular invasive growth component and a component with intraductal growth into the main pancreatic duct, and histologically the tumor cells had solid acinar to partially trabecular/tubular patterns.

Trypsin (an acinic cell marker) expression was widely observed, followed by the expression of chromogranin A (an endocrine cell marker) in about 30% of the tumor cells.

The tumor was diagnosed as mixed acinar-endocrine carcinoma according to the WHO classification.

[Title] A spontaneous acinar cell carcinoma model for monitoring progression of pancreatic lesions and response to treatment through noninvasive bioluminescence imaging.

PURPOSE: We have generated an EL1-luc/TAg transgenic mouse model that develops spontaneous and bioluminescent acinar cell carcinomas.

RESULTS: EL1-luc/TAg transgenic mice showed pancreas-specific bioluminescence signal before tumor progression and produced increasing light emission from the onset of the pancreatic acinar cell carcinomas.

Progression of the primary acinar cell carcinoma was accompanied by emergence of metastatic lesions in the abdominal organs, including liver and gastrointestinal fat tissues.

CONCLUSIONS: The EL1-luc/TAg mouse provides a noninvasive approach for monitoring spontaneous acinar cell carcinoma development and comprises a convenient tool for the evaluation of novel therapeutics against pancreatic cancers.

[Title] Mature acinar cells are refractory to carcinoma development by targeted activation of Ras oncogene in adult rats.

Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDA) is one of the most debilitating malignancies in humans.

When adenovirus with Cre recombinase under the control of the CMV enhancer/chicken beta-actin (CAG) promoter (Ad-CAG-Cre) is injected into the pancreatic duct of these animals, pancreatic neoplasias develop.

Pathologically, the origin of these lesions is duct, intercalated duct, and centroacinar cells, but not acinar cells.

The present study was undertaken to test the effect of acinar cell-specific oncogenic ras expression.

Adult transgenic rats were injected with adenovirus with Cre recombinase under the control of the acinar cell-specific promoters amylase (Ad-Amy-Cre) and elastase-1 (Ad-Ela-Cre) or under the control of the non-specific CAG promoter.

Injection of either Ad-Amy-Cre or Ad-Ela-Cre into the pancreatic ducts of transgenic animals in which oncogenic Kras is tagged with hemagglutinin (HA), HA-Kras(G12V) rats resulted in expression of oncogenic ras in acinar cells but not in duct, intercalated duct, or centroacinar cells.

In marked contrast, injection of Ad-CAG-Cre resulted in pancreatic cancer development within 4 weeks.

These results indicate that adult acinar cells are refractory to Ras oncogene activation and do not develop neoplasia in this model.

[Title] Hypothetical progression model of pancreatic cancer with origin in the centroacinar-acinar compartment.

OBJECTIVES: Based mainly on animal models, 2 lesions have been suggested as possible precursors of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC): pancreatic intraepithelial neoplasia (PanIN) and tubular complexes (TCs).

The aim of the study was to find support for either of the 2 models through the analysis of a large panel of human pancreatic tissues.

In 50% to 70% of the cases with TC and associated PanIN, a transitional zone of acinar-ductular transformation with mucinous differentiation of the ductular epithelium was identified.

Expression of acinar and centroacinar markers was detected in TC, in the ductular structures of the transitional zones, as well as within the epithelium of mature PanINs.

A progression model that originates in the centroacinar-acinar compartment and ends with the development of PanIN lesions is suggested.

[Title] Spontaneous induction of murine pancreatic intraepithelial neoplasia (mPanIN) by acinar cell targeting of oncogenic Kras in adult mice.

Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is believed to arise through a multistep model comprised of putative precursor lesions known as pancreatic intraepithelial neoplasia (PanIN).

The most faithful genetic models activate an oncogenic Kras(G12D) knockin allele within the pdx1- or ptf1a/p48-expression domain of the entire pancreatic anlage during development, thus obscuring the putative cell(s)-of-origin from which subsequent mPanIN lesions arise.

In our study, activation of this knockin Kras(G12D) allele in the Elastase- and Mist1-expressing mature acinar compartment of adult mice resulted in the spontaneous induction of mPanIN lesions of all histological grades, although invasive carcinomas per se were not seen.

We observed no requirement for concomitant chronic exocrine injury in the induction of mPanIN lesions from the mature acinar cell compartment.

The acinar cell derivation of the mPanINs was established through lineage tracing in reporter mice, and by microdissection of lesional tissue demonstrating Cre-mediated recombination events.

In contrast to the uniformly penetrant mPanIN phenotype observed following developmental activation of Kras(G12D) in the Pdx1-expressing progenitor cells, the Pdx1-expressing population in the mature pancreas (predominantly islet beta cells) appears to be relatively resistant to the effects of oncogenic Kras.

We conclude that in the appropriate genetic context, the differentiated acinar cell compartment in adult mice retains its susceptibility for spontaneous transformation into mPanIN lesions, a finding with potential relevance vis-à-vis the origins of PDAC.
