          Abstract

          The World Health Organization (WHO) classification (2004) defines pancreatic endocrine carcinoma as tumors with gross local invasion or metastasis, and the mere occurrence of angioinvasion or perineural invasion constitute insufficient criteria of malignancy. The significance of this classification remains to be assessed in Japan.
