An alpha-fetoprotein producing pancreatic cystadenocarcinoma

Abstract

An autopsy case of an 83-year-old Japanese woman with pancreatic cancer with significantly elevated serum alpha-fetoprotein levels is reported. The pancreatic tumor was a mucinous cystadenocarcinoma with multiple metastasis to the liver. The immunohistochemistry for alpha-fetoprotein revealed positive reactivity in the cytoplasm of cancer cells in the primary and liver metastatic lesions. The current case is the first reported in which mucinous cystadenocarcinoma of the pancreas produced alpha-fetoprotein.
