## BACKGROUND. Tumors of the pancreas associated with extracellular mucin production include mucin-producing ductal adenocarcinoma, mucinous cystic neoplasm (MCN), and intraductal papillary mucinous tumor (IPMT). Fine-needle aspiration (FNA) is used as an adjunct to radiologic analysis for the pre

## Abstract Mucins are aberrantly expressed in various malignancies. We immunohistochemistrically tested mucins expression (MUC1, MUC2 and MUC5AC) in EUSβFNA samples from pancreatic occupying lesions for the diagnostic utility. The prevalence of MUC1, MUC2 and MUC5AC expression in pancreatic cancer
Two cases of mucinoics cystadenocarcinorna of the pancreas are described in which the diagnosis was made from the material obtained by a computed tomography-guided jine-needle aspiration cytology examination. It is strongly felt that aspiration cytology, when performed under imaging guidance, is sen
Fine needle aspiration cytology has been increasingly used in recent years to diagnose pancreatic lesions. During a 6 year period, we performed 33 aspiration cytologies of the pancreas. Twenty-one were performed during exploratory laparotomy, seven under the guidance of computed tomography and five
