Abstract

<abstract> <title> <x xml:space="preserve">Abstract</x> </title> <sec> <title>Abstract</title> <p>Acinar carcinoma is extremely rare. In this report, we present the clinical and pathologic features of three cases that we have encountered in a busy EUS-FNA service. All 3 cases were diagnosed on final histology using immunostains and electron microscopy. Our cases demonstrated the rarity of this neoplasm and the need for ancillary testing for accurate diagnosis.</p> </sec> </abstract>
