Leiomyoma of the pancreas is an extremely rare entity. There are currently only three reported cases, all of which were small, asymptomatic, and incidentally found tumor.
We have reported the first case of leiomyoma of the pancreas in a young woman with a large symptomatic mass.
A 31-year-old woman presented with chronic abdominal pain. Computed tomography scans showed a huge heterogeneously enhancing mass, located between duodenum and pancreatic head. The patient underwent pancreaticoduodenectomy and the histology confirmed leiomyoma of the pancreas.
This case adds the knowledge that this extremely rare entity could be manifested as symptomatic mass in a young patient.
胰腺平滑肌瘤是一种极其罕见的实体瘤。目前仅有三例报道，均为体积小、无症状、偶然发现的肿瘤。
我们报道了首例发生于年轻女性的胰腺平滑肌瘤，该患者有大的症状性肿块。
一名 31 岁女性因慢性腹痛就诊。计算机断层扫描显示一个巨大的混杂强化肿块，位于十二指肠和胰头之间。患者接受了胰十二指肠切除术，组织学证实为胰腺平滑肌瘤。
该病例增加了知识储备，提示这种极其罕见的实体瘤可能在年轻患者中表现为有症状的肿块。
