Abbreviations: FISH, fluorescence in situ hybridization; MA, mutant allele; N, normal (<40% of cells with hyperploidy or monosomy); n.t., not tested; PDA, well-differentiated component; SE, sequencing electropherogram; Undiff., undifferentiated component; WT, wild-type allele. The proportion (and size) of the PDA component ranged from 1% (0.3 cm) to 40% (3.6 cm).

a

The PDA component arose from a mucinous cystadenocarcinoma.

b

The microscopic focus of PDA arose from an intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm.
