Abdominal magnetic resonance imaging was performed for further characterization of the lesion; the mass presented as low intensity on T1-weighted imaging and slightly high intensity on T2-weighted imaging (Fig. 2).
Laparoscopic observation showing that the edge of the tumor is relatively well defined, but the tumor is strongly adhesive to the pancreas.

The patient underwent laparoscopic evaluation which revealed that the edge of the tumor was relatively distinct, but strongly adherent to the pancreas (Fig. 3).
Image of histological examination showing that the lesion infiltrated the pancreatic interlobular connective tissue (hematoxylin-eosin; scale bar, 500 mum).
