Perivascular Epithelial Cell Tumor of the Pancreas Diagnosed Preoperatively by Endoscopic Ultrasound-guided Fine-needle Aspiration

We herein report a 49-year-old woman with a perivascular epithelial cell tumor (PEComa) of the pancreas. Imaging studies demonstrated a relatively well-demarcated mass, measuring approximately 40 mm in diameter, located in the pancreatic tail. It was heterogeneously enhanced almost to the same degre...

Sumario:We herein report a 49-year-old woman with a perivascular epithelial cell tumor (PEComa) of the pancreas. Imaging studies demonstrated a relatively well-demarcated mass, measuring approximately 40 mm in diameter, located in the pancreatic tail. It was heterogeneously enhanced almost to the same degree as the surrounding pancreatic tissue in both the arterial and portal venous phases. We performed endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration (EUS-FNA) using the Acquire(Ⓡ) 22-gauge needle and preoperatively obtained a definitive diagnosis with a sufficient sample. Clinicians should consider pancreatic PEComa in their differential diagnosis of patients with a pancreatic mass.
