Definition
A term that is used for pancreaticobiliary neoplasms examined with fine needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) and refers to rare spindle cell neoplasms that do not exhibit atypical or malignant cytological features, and in which a benign diagnosis is expected but a definitive diagnosis cannot be established. FNAB of such neoplasms usually reveals scant spindle cells without atypical features with or without adipose tissue. Without further testing that includes immunohistochemistry and molecular analysis, a specific diagnosis cannot be made. Examples include schwannomas, neurofibromas, paragangliomas, lipomas, and leiomyomas.

CancerIndex is a research and information platform. It does not diagnose and does not recommend treatment.
Key figures
Each figure carries its unit, period and source; ranks link to "Why this rank?".
No registry-level ancestor: burden figures are published for the mutually exclusive top-level site groups only, and this entity does not descend from one. Global figures (IARC / GLOBOCAN) stay under license review and SEER awaits credentials.
