Hepatoid Carcinoma of the Pancreas: A Case Report

Pancreatic hepatoid carcinoma is a pancreatic rare malignant epithelial neoplasia that is difficult to diagnose. We report the case of a 59-year-old woman consulting for an epigastric discomfort. Radiological investigations showed a tissular mass syndrome of the pancreatic head. A cephalic pancreaticoduodenectomy was performed. Anatomopathology examination led to the diagnosis of hepatoid carcinoma of the pancreas. From this observation, the authors recall the difficulties of the diagnosis of this exceptional tumor.
