We report the case of a 67-year-old male with epigastric pain and weight loss during the last nine months. Physical examination revealed a hard palpable mass in the epi-mesogastrium. An abdominal ultrasound identified a large, heterogeneous and hypovascular mass, which compressed the left hepatic lobe and the pancreas.
