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.
