| Abstract | CONTEXT Pancreatic desmoplastic small round cell tumour (DSRCT) is an extremely rare malignancy of which very few reports exist. It follows an aggressive course and has a dismal prognosis. CASE REPORT A twenty-four-year-old male presented with a one-month history of rapidly progressive obstructive jaundice associated with abdominal pain suggestive of a biliary colic. Contrast-enhanced CT (CECT) of the abdomen revealed a pancreatic head mass. He underwent a pancreaticoduodenectomy and adjuvant chemotherapy and is disease free one year after surgery. CONCLUSION This is the first reported case of a pancreatic head DSRCT, discovered in a young male investigated for a short history of painful obstructive jaundice. |
