Core Tip	This is a report of a rare case of pancreatic paracoccidioidomycosis, which shows its importance in the differential diagnosis of intra-abdominal tumors in endemic areas. This is apparently the first such report written in English. The patient had a pancreatic mass adhering to vessels and deep planes, with enlargement of satellite lymph nodes; but malignant neoplasia was not found. The ultrasonography-guided pancreas fine-needle aspiration defined the diagnosis and successfully directed the therapy. Remarkably, although the patient had abdominal lymph node enlargement, he did not present peripheral lymphadenopathy, which is usually the major complaint in patients with the juvenile form of paracoccidioidomycosis.
