FINE NEEDLE ASPIRATION DIAGNOSIS OF PANCREATIC CARCINOMA {ACINAR CELL CARCINOMA} – CASE REPORT
Journal Title: Journal of Evolution of Medical and Dental Sciences - Year 2013, Vol 2, Issue 15
Abstract
Acinar cell carcinoma of the pancreas is a rare neoplasm. Pe-operative percutaneous, ultrasound guided (USG), fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) of pancreatic lesions is a good modality for obtaining early tissue diagnosis, aiding in distinction of clinically/radiologically appearing benign against malignant lesions. It also helps in obtaining a diagnosis in inoperable cases where chemotherapy or radiotherapy can be the line of treatment.
