Y1 - 2018 N1 - T2 - Textbook of Complex General Surgical Oncology AB - Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinomas account for approximately 85% of all pancreatic tumors. Recently, less common epithelial tumors have been increasingly identified as a result of the frequent use of computed tomography (CT). Solid pancreatic masses with atypical clinical presentations or unusual imaging characteristics may suggest an unusual etiology. At presentation, rare pancreatic conditions can be diagnostically challenging and a thorough differential diagnosis which includes, but is not limited to, pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma can help to prevent errors in diagnosis. This chapter focuses on unusual solid tumors of the pancreas and discusses optimal diagnostic and therapeutic approaches for management.
