Undifferentiated Pancreatic Carcinoma With Osteoclast-Like Giant Cells and Associated Ductal Adenocarcinoma With Focal Signet-Ring Features.

Undifferentiated pancreatic carcinoma with osteoclast-like giant cells (UPC-OGC) is a unique and rare tumor characterized by the presence of highly atypical carcinoma cells and non-neoplastic osteoclast-like giant cells. The histogenesis of this tumor is unclear and data on its prognosis remain controversial. Some data show poor clinical outcomes in affected patients while other more recent studies report a better outcome especially for cases with pure UPC-OGC. There are currently no established reliable management guidelines for UPC-OGC partly because of its rarity and presence of conflicting data in the literature. Hence the need for continued reporting and further research on this neoplasm. We report an incidental finding of UPC-OGC with associated ductal adenocarcinoma and focal signet ring features in an elderly male patient who presented with symptoms of urinary tract infection (UTI).
