Excision Of Mucinous Cystadenoma Of Pancreas Is Safe And Effective: A Case Report
INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF SURGERY-ONCOLOGY(2018)
Abstract
Background: Pancreatic cysts are frequently detected incidentally, and a definitive preoperative diagnosis remains challenging. Benign cystic lesions have a very high cure rate unless malignant change supervenes. Simple excision of benign cysts of the pancreas is safe and effective.Case presentation: We present a 31-year-old woman with a 3-year history of an enlarging symptomatic benign pancreatic mucinous cystadenoma, which was misdiagnosed radiologically as a pancreatic serous cystadenoma or a mesenteric cyst. This was managed safely by excision and resection with a distal pancreatectomy that was avoided.Conclusions: Excision of benign mucinous cystadenoma of the pancreas is safe and effective, and surveillance for recurrence is not necessary.
