Enhanced abdominal computed tomography(CT) scan showed an 8.2 x 7.2 cm large heterogeneous mass with a central necrotic area in the body of the pancreas (Fig. 1a and b). Ultrasonography revealed a 9.7 x 7.2 cm large hypoechoic mass with cystic change in the pancreatic body (Fig. 1c), and (18F) fludeoxyglucose positron emission tomography(PET)-CT showed strong accumulation in the pancreatic body(maximum standardized uptake value: 6.12; Fig. 1d).
