Lipoma da cabeça do pâncreas

Intrapancreatic lipoma is an extremely rare neoplasm. The authors present a case of pancreatic lipoma in a 51-years-old white female, with a history of abdominal pain for a twelve-month period, without other findings. Computed tomography scanning showed a 5cm tumor located at the head of the pancreas. After surgical excision of a solid mass, histological study reveled a benign neoplasm of fat-cells, surrounded for normal pancreatic tissue. The authors comment on the more important aspects of this pathology.
