Pancreatic Cancer
It can develop in any part of the gland, but most commonly in the HEAD. The gross specimen reveals a light-gray pancreatic tumor with indistinct margins, lacking a capsule and exhibiting characteristic infiltrative growth. The cancerous node invades the pancreatic ducts and subsequently the Bile duct. Such growth leads to pancreatic and hepatic dysfunction (cholangitis, jaundice).
