[Primary leiomyoma of the head of pancreas. A case report].
Pancreatic leiomyoma is rare. We report a new case in a 52-year old man. A tumor of the pancreatic head was diagnosed after a primary diabetic decompensation. No precise diagnosis was obtained with additional tests. Although the condition appeared to be benign, a diagnostic and therapeutic Whipple procedure was performed.
