ABSTRACT
We present a 54-year-old Chinese man with a tumour at the pancreatic tail associated with a presumed cystic splenic lesion. Histological examination showed a pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma with extensive cystic degeneration and invasion of the spleen, a rare imaging presentation for such a tumour.
