Author(s):
Abstract:
Endocrine tumors of the pancreas (Islet-cell tumors) are rare with neuroendocrine origin. The patient was a 41- year- old man, admitted with chief complains of epigastric mass feeling, dull abdominal pain, lack of appetite and weight loss up to 2-3 kg since 6 months ago. In physical examination, a mass was detected in epigaster and left upper quadrant (LUQ). In abdominal x-ray, a calcified mass was seen in LUQ. For better evaluation, abdominal CT was performed in which, a large calcified mass in pancreas tail was reported. Finally, by means of immunohistochemical markers, the neuroendocrine carcinoma of the pancreas was confirmed. In spite of the rareness of calcification in these tumors, it is also necessary to consider malignancies when encountering a large calcified mass in pancreas.
