Histologic and Immunohistochemical Comparison of Intraductal Tubular Carcinoma, Intraductal Papillary-Mucinous Carcinoma, and Ductal Adenocarcinoma of the Pancreas

Abstract

The PCNA-L.I of IPMC and ITC was lower and the cell atypia of them was more mild compared with those of ductal carcinoma, indicating that IPMC possess low-grade malignant potentials. However, we observed differences of growth patterns and mucous secretion between ITC and IPMC of the pancreas.
