Core Tip

Core Tip: We need to be more vigilant for indeterminate pancreatic masses, and then computed tomography and histopathology can play a very important role in clinical diagnosis. Surgery is an effective treatment for solitary fibrous tumor of the pancreas; however, long-term follow-up is strongly recommended because of the possibility of malignant transformation of the tumor.
