Undifferentiated osteoclast-like giant cell pancreatic carcinoma (UC-OGC) is a rare pancreatic carcinoma that is composed of osteoclast-like giant cells among other cells and is hardly described in literature due to its infrequent presentation. With that, a rare symptom of pancreatic cancers is upper gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding. We report a 76-year-old African American male who presented with one episode of bloody emesis associated with intermittent episodes of severe abdominal pain and a 25 lbs of unintentional weight loss secondary to metastatic UC-OGC. The patient was stabilized and referred to an oncologist for further treatment. We present this case to add to the existing literature on UC-OGC of the pancreas.
未分化破骨细胞样巨细胞胰腺癌(UC-OGC)是一种罕见的胰腺癌,由破骨细胞样巨细胞和其他细胞组成,因其发病率低,在文献中鲜有描述。此外,上消化道(GI)出血是胰腺癌的一种罕见症状。我们报告了一名76岁的非裔美国男性,因转移性UC-OGC出现一次血性呕吐,伴有间歇性严重腹痛和25磅非故意体重减轻。患者病情稳定后被转诊给肿瘤学家进行进一步治疗。我们展示此病例以补充胰腺UC-OGC的现有文献。
