Abstract

Pancreatic carcinoma has a poor prognosis, and early detection is essential for potentially curative resection. Despite a wide array of diagnostic tools, pre-operative detection of small pancreatic carcinomas is difficult. We report a case of pancreatic carcinoma that was bicentric and small. The head mass was diagnosed by computed tomography (CT), while the tail mass, which was suspected but indeterminate on CT, was diagnosed by positron emission tomography (PET). Thus, total pancreatectomy was performed. The PET results prevented our patient from undergoing tail mass biopsy, multiple surgeries and non-curative operation.
