The uncinate process is a hook-like projection of the inferior aspect of the head of the pancreas. Carcinoma of the uncinate process of the pancreas is considered to be rare, difficult to diagnose and particularly devastating. The current method of detection is computed tomography. We report a case of carcinoma of the uncinate process of the pancreas in a patient who initially presented with deep vein thrombosis. The diagnosis of carcinoma of the uncinate process of the pancreas should be considered in patients who present with primary thromboembolic disease and other nonspecific signs.
钩突是胰腺头部下侧的钩状突起。胰腺钩突癌被认为较为罕见，诊断困难且具有极大的破坏性。目前的检测方法是计算机断层扫描。我们报告一例胰腺钩突癌患者，该患者最初表现为深静脉血栓形成。对于出现原发性血栓栓塞性疾病及其他非特异性症状的患者，应考虑胰腺钩突癌的诊断。
