Abstract
Undifferentiated carcinoma of the pancreas with osteoclast-like giant cells (UC-OGCs) is a rare entity, less than 1% of all pancreatic malignancies. Recent studies quoted that the prognosis of these cancers is more favorable and displays a less aggressive with slow metastasis and lymph node spread compare to patients with an associated conventional pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma. We report a case of undifferentiated carcinoma with osteoclast-like giant cells of pancreas, which was diagnosed on aspiration cytology. To the best of our knowledge only twelve cases have been reported on so far and only two cases reported on cytology.
