Serous pancreatic cystadenomas account for approximately 16% of pancreatic neoplasms and are -frequently discovered incidentally on abdominal imaging studies. The diagnosis of these benign neoplasms can be challenging, especially when it comes to distinguishing them from the malignant mucinous cystadenomas or intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms. In this article, we report on a case of giant pancreatic cystadenoma and the correlation between the radiologic and pathologic findings macroscopically and microscopically. The patient underwent pancreaticoduodenectomy and excellent correlation was found between the preoperative imaging studies and the resected specimen. This article sheds the light on a rare case, especially that there are very few reports on similar cases of giant serous cystadenomas of the pancreas in the literature.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
