Abstract:
The authors report 14 cases of neoplasms involving the pancreatic body and tail. Duration and characteristics of symptoms at outbreak, diagnostic work-up, resection rates, morbidity and operative mortality are statistically analysed and compared with those found in the same period in patients with cancer of the pancreatic head. A number of important differences between these two locations are detected and analytically discussed.
