Pancreatic head well-differentiated endocrine tumor.
The authors report a case of a small pancreatic head well-differentiated endocrine tumor. A 44-year-old woman was revealed to have a large cystic tumor in the pancreatic head area. Resection revealed a well-differentiated endocrine tumor 7 mm in diameter confined to the pancreatic head and obstructing the proximal portion of the pancreatic duct, resulting in cystic dilatation of the duct, mimicking a cystic tumor of the pancreatic head.
