Histopathology 58:712-9. 2011..The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between AMACR expression and the presence of CTNNB1 mutations in HCCs...
Pancreatic ducts as an important route of tumor extension for acinar cell carcinoma of the pancreasDaisuke Ban
Pathology Division, National Cancer Center Research Institute, Tokyo, Japan
Am J Surg Pathol 34:1025-36. 2010..These findings suggest that a significant proportion of ACC shows IPG, which is potentially linked to less aggressive clinicopathologic characteristics...
Intraductal carcinosarcoma with a heterologous mesenchymal component originating in intraductal papillary-mucinous carcinoma (IPMC) of the pancreas with both carcinoma and osteosarcoma cells arising from IPMC cellsJun Okamura
Pathology Division, National Cancer Center Research Institute, Tokyo 104 0045, Japan
