T P O'Connor et al. Cancer. .

Abstract

Background: Small cell undifferentiated carcinoma of the pancreas is a rare type of pancreatic neoplasm.

Methods: The authors report the clinical and pathologic aspects of a patient with this malignant lesion and an extensive serologic and immunohistochemical survey of potential ectopically produced hormones or tumor markers.

Results: Neuron-specific enolase (NSE) emerged as a tumor marker.

Conclusions: NSE could be valuable in the diagnosis and management of other patients with this rare disease.
