Core Tip	Undifferentiated carcinoma of the pancreas with osteoclast-like giant cells (OGCs) is very rare and shows a poor prognosis. A 67-year female underwent subtotal pancreatectomy, total gastrectomy, and segmental resection of the transverse colon for a mass occupying the lesser sac and abutting the stomach and pancreas. Histopathological examination confirmed an 11cm-sized undifferentiated carcinoma of the pancreas with OGCs. The patient had suffered from multiple bone metastases and survived 9 mo after surgery. This case supports the ductal epithelial origin of undifferentiated carcinoma with OGCs and early diagnosis could result in favorable surgical outcomes.
