The presence of non-neoplastic osteoclast-like giant cells is the histological hallmark of this tumor and the diagnosis is usually not difficult on tissue sections. However there have been relatively few reports regarding the cytological features of this type of tumor in literatures. Here we present a case of undifferentiated pancreatic carcinoma with osteoclast-like giant cells coexisting with ductal adenocarcinoma diagnosed by endoscopic ultrasonography （EUS）-guided fine-needle aspiration （FNA） and liquid-based cytology test.
