title: Unresectable pancreatic tumour? The issue is tissue.
abstract: The majority of tumours in the pancreas are adenocarcinomas for which therapeutic options are limited and which are associated with an unsatisfactory prognosis. However, alternative diagnoses may result in other therapeutic approaches with often a more favourable outcome. Hence, it is crucial to obtain a histological diagnosis before a definitive therapeutic plan can be devised. In this manuscript, a small series of pancreatic tumours other than adenocarcinoma are described.
