Diagnosed with a pancreatic tumor during a routine evaluation. She was referred to a multidisciplinary consult, deciding the voluntary interruption of pregnancy, then she is evaluated by the General Surgery specialty clinic for complaining of epigastric pain and hiccup. On physical examination an epigastric tumor was found. Auxiliary exams were normal. Imagenologic studies confirm a tumor in the pancreatic body and tail. Surgical treatment was scheduled, distal pancreatectomy with splenectomy, due to invasion of gastric wall subtotal distal gastrectomy was performed. Patient evolution without complications. Biopsy reported a well capsulated, leiomyoma type, primary mesenchymal pancreatic tumor.
