Colloid Carcinoma of the Pancreas with a Series of Radiological and Pathological Studies for Diagnosis: A Case Report

Pancreatic colloid carcinoma is an uncommon and unique malignancy possessing a significantly more favorable prognosis than that of ordinary pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma. Accurate diagnosis of this rare entity is thus important for leading the ensuing optimal treatment. Herein we report a case of colloid carcinoma of the pancreas with a series of imaging findings and pathologic assessments. Being familiar with these radio-pathological features makes early diagnosis possible prior to operation.
