Abstract
Connective tissue tumors of pancreas are uncommon, among them pancreatic schwannoma is very rare tumor, very few cases were reported in literature. Aggressive resections like whipple's procedure, or distal pancreatectomy are not necessary for pancreatic schwannoma as it rarely goes to malignant change and simple enuclation is sufficient.In our patient pancreatic schwannoma is associated with simple cyst in liver and absence of one kidney. Here, we are presenting a case of pancreatic schwannoma treated by simple enucleation.Entities:
