case_images: Abdominal-pelvic CT scan with contrast injection had helped find an inhomogeneous tissue mass suggesting a tumour of the tail and body of the pancreas, measuring 86 x 83 mm (Fig. 1).
case_images: Mass in contact with the duodeno-jejunal angle (Treitz).

case_images: Laparotomy showed a mass which was separated from of the tail of the pancreas, multicoloured, lying against the duodeno-jujenal angle through some small vessels, and along the abdominal aorta up to the aortic bifurcation (Fig. 2).
case_images: Dissection of the mass using Babcock's pliers and with no hand contact, allowing the least mobilization possible.

case_images: A minimal mobilization of the mass with a Babcock (Fig. 3) and the use of Nicardipine helped maintain blood pressure below 180 mm Hg.
