Small cell cancer that occurs in the pancreas is rare and its progress very rapid, and most patoents' tumor has already spread by metastasis when it is discovered. Although this cancer has a poor prognosis, we report here on treating case with combined curative resection and chemotherapy and showed a good prognosis.
