Preoperative differential diagnostic examination showed either tumor of pancreas or left liver lobe. The surgery confirmed large tumor body of the pancreas. Histological and immunohistochemical examination determined gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) of the pancreas from autonomous nerves with malignant character. Tumor was radically removed.
