Laboratory data, ultrasonography, computed tomography, endooscopic retrograde pancreatography, and angiogram led to the diagnosis of the pancreas cancer located in the body. Distal pancreatectomy was carried out. A tumor measuring 4.5×4.5×4.0cm was located in the body of the pancreas. Histopathological findings revealed islet cell carcinoma.
