BackgroundUndifferentiated carcinomas of the pancreas with osteoclast-like giant cells (UCPOGC) are rare pancreatic neoplasms that account for less than 1% of all pancreatic malignancies. This case report of a 54-year-old male with metastatic UCPOGC adds to the existing literature and further ascertains the clinical and imaging features, treatment options, and prognosis of this rare entity.Case presentationWe present the detailed clinical course of a 54-year-old Asian male patient with UCPOGC, with focus on the relevant clinical features and imaging findings that are characteristic of this disease entity.ConclusionsUCPOGC is an extremely rare pancreatic tumor with a unique histopathology and clinical course. It is often difficult to distinguish UCPOGCs from other pancreatic tumors, such as traditional pancreatic ductal adenocarcinomas (PDAC), on imaging, and it therefore remains a pathological diagnosis. Surgery is generally regarded as the first-line treatment option, and the roles of chemotherapy and radiation are unclear. Due to the exceeding rarity of this tumor, large-scale clinical studies are not feasible. Therefore, it is important to share individual insights and experiences to improve our understanding and care for patients with this devastating disease.
