Abstract

Pancreatic neoplasms are classified according to the normal cells they recapitulate. These neoplasms' clinicopathologic and biologic characteristics are determined mostly by their cellular lineage. Most are of ductal lineage, characterized by tubular units, cysts, and papilla or mucin formation and expression of mucin-related glycoproteins and oncoproteins. There are also genetic and molecular alterations that are fairly tumor specific.
