Undifferentiated carcinoma of pancreas with osteoclastic giant cells is a rare tumor. The prognosis is slightly better than usual anaplastic carcinoma. It is said to have an epithelial origin. We present a case of 61-year-old female who presented with features of cholangitis and on evaluation found to have pancreatic mass. Pancreatic intraepithelial neoplasia was also present in our case, which is a feature less commonly noted in published literature.

ABSTRACT Sinonasal undifferentiated carcinoma (SNUC) is a rare tumor of the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses. It can be differentiated from other neoplasms by correlating clinical, light microscopic, immunohistochemical and ultrastructural characteristics. Due to the small number of reported cases, the ideal treatment regimen has not been systematically evaluated. The treatment of SNUC includes aggressive multimodality therapy, including surgical resection and adjuvant treatment (i.e. radiotherapy, chemotherapy) because of high rate of both loco-regional recurrence and distant metastasis.

Undifferentiated carcinoma of the pancreas is an aggressive but rare tumor for which several other terms have been used to describe its histological appearance. In addition, as osteoclast-like giant cells may accompany undifferentiated carcinoma of the pancreas, the WHO Classification distinguishes undifferentiated carcinoma with osteoclast-like giant cells (UC-OGC) from plain undifferentiated carcinoma since there are a few histopathological and clinical differences. UC-OGC was initially thought to be associated with worse prognosis compared to invasive ductal pancreatic adenocarcinoma, since it is often unresectable at diagnosis and tends to recur rapidly even if completely resected. When true UC-OGGs are carefully dissected out from other anaplastic carcinomas, it becomes, however, clear that UC-OGCs do have more indolent behavior, especially the pure UC-OGCs. This mini-review summarizes the current knowledge on UC-OGC.
