Origin of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma. It is widely accepted that pancreatic ductal carcinoma (PDAC) arises from precursor lesions derived from ductal cells; however, recently another model has been proposed where PDAC arises from acinar cells through a process called “acinar to ductal metaplasia” (ADM). PanIN: Intraepithelial neoplasm; IPMN: Intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm; MCN: Mucinous cystic neoplasm.
