Abstract:
We report a case of signet ring cell carcinoma of the pancreas. This rare variant of ductal adenocarcinoma is composed exclusively of signet ring neoplastic cells in a mucinous stroma. Altogether, clinical, radiological and immunohistochemical data supported the pancreatic origin of the tumor.
