Pre-operative contrast-enhanced computed tomography scan showing a 3-cm pancreatic tumour abutting the right side of the superior mesenteric vein. There is a clear plane between the tumour and the superior mesenteric artery and R0 resection was possible with vascular resection of the lateral wall of the superior mesenteric vein.
