| A 61-years-old man with a hypoechoic, inhomogeneous mass of the pancreatic body, with rich pulsatile vascularization, especially visualized after contrast-enhanced EUS (Sonovue). The tumor invaded the celiac trunck, splenic artery and splenic vein (T4). Multiple peripancreatic lymph nodes were also visualized. EUS-guided FNA was performed and the cytological exam revealed small round cells with severe nuclear atypia. |
