The abdominopelvic MRI showed a mildly T2 hyperintense mass with arterial enhancement measuring 7.2 x 6.5cm, within the pancreatic head and uncinate process (Figure 1).
Microscopic images of the mass: (a) 100X, H&E section; Nested architecture of enlarged epithelioid cells surrounded by a delicate capillary network and (b) 400X; Immunohistochemistry staining for chromogranin A showing granular cytoplasmic staining.
