This routine hematoxylin-eosin (HE) stained slide shows an aggressive pancreatic cancer formation infiltrating a small nerve. The malignant mucin-filled gland beleaguers the perineural sheath. Carcinoma cells show prominent nucleoli and heterogeneous contours. Adjacent to the perineural invasion is a small blood vessel which is (so far) not affected but in close proximity. Pancreatic cancer is still a fatal malignancy with a weak prognosis. Research and public awareness are mandatory.
