	***Main duct (bad prognosis).
	***Branch (good prognosis).

	~~Clinical:~~
	*Patient usually not jaundiced... as no obstruction.
	*Often diabetes... as pancreas is destroyed.
	*Patients may get a total pancreatectomy - as the disease is often multifocal.

	~~====Epidemiology====~~
	*~1% of all exocrine pancreatic tumours.
	*More common in males.
	*Mean age at presentation 62 years.
	*60-80% occur in the head of the pancreas.
	*Average size 4 cm.

	~~===Gross===~~
	*May be patchy/multifocal.
	*Multiple cystic spaces.

	~~===Microscopic===~~
	~~Features:~~
	*Pancreatic duct lining cells jut into the duct lumen - papillomatous growth pattern.
	*Cytology:
	**Cell enlargement.
	***Increased mucin production.
	**Nuclear changes:
	***Increased [[NC ratio]].
	***Nuclear crowding and [[nuclear pleomorphism\|pleomorphism]].
	**Mitotic activity.

	~~Note:~~
	*No ovarian type stroma underneath (as seen in mucinous tumours).

	~~DDx:~~
	*[[PanIN]].
	*[[Invasive ductal carcinoma of the pancreas]].
	*Intra-ampullary papillary-tubular neoplasm -- see ''[[ampulla of Vater]]''.

	*Adenoma.
	*Borderline mucinous tumour.

	~~Notes:~~
	*Borderline tumours are rare.
	*If intralobular dilated ducts... carcinoma.
	*Any margin with mucin cells in thought to be badness!

	This contrasts with the features of adenocarcinoma:<ref name=pmid16273946>{{Cite journal \| last1 = Adsay \| first1 = NV. \| last2 = Bandyopadhyay \| first2 = S. \| last3 = Basturk \| first3 = O. \| last4 = Othman \| first4 = M. \| last5 = Cheng \| first5 = JD. \| last6 = Klöppel \| first6 = G. \| last7 = Klimstra \| first7 = DS. \| title = Chronic pancreatitis or pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma? \| journal = Semin Diagn Pathol \| volume = 21 \| issue = 4 \| pages = 268-76 \| month = Nov \| year = 2004 \| doi = \| PMID = 16273946 }}</ref>
	*Ductal architecture:
	**Random distribution of ductal structures.
	**Irregular ductal contours.
	**"Naked ducts in fat"; ducts without surrounding pancreatic elements or fibrous tissue.
	**Ducts adjacent to arterioles.
	*Nuclear atypia:
	**Enlargement (>3 times the size of a lymphocyte).
	**Pleomorphism.
	**Distinct [[nucleoli]].
	**Hyperchromatic raisinoid nucleoli.
	*Generally assoc. with malignancy:
	**[[perineural invasion\|Perineural]] and [[vascular invasion]] (rare).
	**Mitosis.
	**Necrotic cellular debris (intraluminal).

	~~Notes:~~
	*Memory device: ''give 'em a '''fair''' chance'' at a benign diagnosis. Features suggestive of malignant:
	**Fat, adjacent to.
	**Arteriole, adjacent to.
	**Irregular ducts.
	**Random distribution of ducts/non-lobular arrangement.
