Canine pancreatic clear acinar cell carcinoma showing an unusual mucinous differentiation
Abstract
A small solitary pancreatic nodule was identified in a 10-year-old mixed breed male dog. Microscopically, the lesion consisted of neoplastic clear acinar cells with diffuse, marked mucin production. Immunohistochemical and ultrastructural investigations confirmed the exocrine acinar origin of the tumour. The tumour was classified as a pancreatic clear acinar cell carcinoma (ACC) showing an unusual mucinous differentiation.
