Pancreatic tumor of mesenchymal origin presenting as obstructive jaundice.

Abstract

A case of an unusual tumor occurring in the head of the pancreas is presented. Definitive diagnosis could not be made, the lesion being either a low grade myxofibrosarcoma or a benign fibrous histiocytoma. The literature is discussed and several cases believed to be pancreatic sarcomata are presented, only one of which was definitely of pancreatic origin. No other case of fibrous histiocytoma of the pancreas has been reported.
