Initial CT demonstrated abdominal fluid collections around the stomach and pancreatic tail, extending to segment two of the liver (Figures 1(a)-1(c)). EUS was performed to evaluate for abnormalities that may have precipitated the initial pancreatic leak. EUS revealed an ill-defined 17 mm x 10 mm mass in the body of the pancreas:an EUS-guided shark core aspiration of the mass was positive for adenocarcinoma (Figure 1(d)).
