    CONTEXT: Pancreatic plasmacytoma is a rare entity and presents with features of mass lesion of pancreas. CASE REPORT: We present an interesting case of pancreatic plasmacytoma with life threatening gastrointestinal bleeding secondary to isolated gastric varices. CONCLUSION: This case highlights the importance of considering it in differential diagnosis of patients with anemia, recurrent pancreatitis or jaundice and isolated gastric varices, prompting a CT scan to evaluate for any pancreatic mass lesions.
