Endoscopic examination revealed a 2.5 cm ulcer in second part of duodenum with elevated margins. CECT abdomen revealed a 10 x 10 cm lesion in the head of pancreas with perilesional lymphadenopathy. Pylorus preserving pancreaticoduodenectomy was performed. Histopathology and immunohistochemistry examination confirmed the diagnosis of extra intestinal GIST of pancreas with positivity for CD117 and vimentin.
