Figure 1. (A) Abdominal computed tomography (CT) at diagnosis. Abdominal CT showed a 40-mm hypovascular tumor in the pancreatic body. The tumor is abutment with the celiac artery (CA), common hepatic artery (CHA), and splenic artery (SPA). (B) Abdominal CT at diagnosis. The tumor is in contact with the CA, CHA, LGA, and SPA. There is no tumor encasement in the superior mesenteric artery (SMA). (C) Positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET-CT) at diagnosis.
