Objective: To present the evolution of a patient with a pancreatic tumor and survival of more than 6 months who underwent neurolysis of the celiac plexus.
Case presentation: A 64-year-old male patient diagnosed with adenocarcinoma of the body and tail of the pancreas without surgical criteria, with pain of severe intensity that made it impossible to start adjuvant treatment, for which he underwent neurolysis of the bilateral celiac plexus, with 7 mL of phenol-10% per side, through the retrocrural posterior space with follow-up with image intensifier, and oral adjuvant treatment was administered with tricyclic, analgesic and anxiolytic antidepressants due to the mixed component of oncological pain.

It was possible to improve the general state of the patient, which facilitates the start of adjuvant oncology therapy.
