The present study describes a 32-year-old female patient, in whom a preoperative imaging diagnosis confirmed a mass in the junction of the body and tail of the pancreas. Based on the anamnesis, on the preoperative diagnosis, and on the general status of the patient, the decision was made to performed laparoscopic enucleation of the pancreatic tumor.
