Abstract

Leiomyosarcomas of the head of the pancreas represent less than 0.1% of all pancreatic neoplasms, sporadic cases have been published. It is believed that they can originate from the wall of the blood vessels or the pancreatic ducts. The first case was reported by Ross in 1951. Currently, less than 100 cases have been reported worldwide. The approach is multidisciplinary due to the complexity of determining the primary site, however its detection is usually in advanced stages of the disease. We present the case of a 42-year-old female patient.
