Clin Imaging. 2006 Sep-Oct;30(5):343-6. doi: 10.1016/j.clinimag.2006.05.027.

Abstract

Acinar cell carcinoma (ACC) is a rare tumor that constitutes 1% of pancreatic neoplasms. ACC is defined as a carcinoma exhibiting pancreatic enzyme production by neoplastic cells. Clinical presentation is usually related to either local spread or metastasis. In this Radiology-Pathology Conference, the clinical presentation and imaging findings of a patient with ACC of the pancreas, along with the differential diagnosis, are reviewed.
