Abstract
Acinar cell carcinoma (ACC) is a rare tumor that constitutes 1% of pancreatic neoplasms.
ACC is defined as a carcinoma exhibiting pancreatic enzyme production by neoplastic
cells. Clinical presentation is usually related to either local spread or metastasis.
In this Radiology–Pathology Conference, the clinical presentation and imaging findings
of a patient with ACC of the pancreas, along with the differential diagnosis, are
reviewed.
