Serous cystadenoma of the pancreas communicating with a pancreatic duct

H Furukawa et al. Int J Pancreatol. 1996 Apr.

Abstract

Conclusion: To differentiate serous cystadenoma from other cystic lesions communicating with the pancreatic duct, careful radiological examination is necessary.

Background: Communication between the cystic cavity and the pancreatic duct in an ordinary serous cystadenoma is uncommon, although it is not uncommon in other cystic lesions, such as pseudocyst, mucinous cystadenoma/adenocarcinoma, and intraductal papillary tumor. METHODS. A serous cystadenoma of the pancreas communicating with main pancreatic duct in a 76-yr-old male is reported.

Results: The communication was preoperatively demonstrated by endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography and confirmed by histopathological examination of the resected specimen.
