Abstract:
A histological and histochemical analysis of two new cases of mucinous cystic tumors of the pancreas is reported. Histochemical study revealed a predominantly sulphated acidic mucin secretion with some neutral mucins. Argyrophilic elements were also observed. The authors propose an origin from intestinal type epithelium through a metaplastic process.
