The exocrine cells and endocrine cells of the pancreas form completely different types of tumors.
Exocrine cells of the pancreas can form benign tumors, although cancerous tumors occur more often. Most of these benign tumors are cystadenomas. About 95% of cancers of the exocrine pancreas are adenocarcinomas. Adenocarcinomas usually begin in the ducts of the pancreas but sometimes develop from the cells that actually produce the pancreatic enzymes (the acinar cells). Less common cancers of the exocrine pancreas include adenosquamous carcinomas, squamous cell carcinomas, and giant cell carcinomas. These types are distinguished from one another based on their appearance under the microscope.
Tumors of the endocrine pancreas are much less common. As a group, they are known as neuroendocrine tumors, or more specifically, islet cell tumors. There are several subtypes of islet cell tumors that are named according to the type of hormone they produce. Islet cell tumors that make insulin are known as insulinomas, and tumors that make glucagon are called glucagonomas. Less often, islet cell tumors may produce other hormones. Most islet cell tumors are benign. Those that are malignant are called islet cell cancers or islet cell carcinomas.
It is very important to distinguish between exocrine and endocrine cancers of the pancreas. Each type of tumor has distinct risk factors and causes; produces different signs and symptoms; are diagnosed using different tests, are treated in different ways, and have a different prognosis (outlook for survival). The remainder of this document refers only to exocrine cancers.
Pancreatic carcinoma is a malignancy (cancer) of the pancreas. These malignancies are divided into two broad categories:
  • Periampullary lesions - most commonly adenocarcinoma of the head of the pancreas. Of lesser frequency are malignant lesions of the ampulla, duodenum and common bile duct. Lesions in these areas are characterized by jaundice, weight loss and abdominal pain.
  • Lesions of body and tail - account for thirty percent of adenocarcinomas of the pancreas. Due to retroperitoneal location and distance from common bile duct, lesions tend to be much larger at diagnosis. Common symptoms are those of weight loss and pain.
