“…Mature cystic teratomas of the pancreas (dermoid cyst) are extremely uncommon. To our knowledge, only 16 cases [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16] have hitherto been reported in the literature. Although current imaging modalities are very useful for the preoperative diagnosis of pancreatic cysts, the findings are sometimes inconclusive, and we recently experienced two cases of mature cystic teratoma of the pancreas for which correct diagnoses could not be made preoperatively.…”

This report documents the findings of two rare cases of mature cystic teratoma of the pancreas. Although they could not be diagnosed preoperatively, our retrospective report suggests that the combined diagnosis of ultrasonography (US), enhanced computed tomography (CT), and magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) might allow differentiation from other cystic lesions such as mucinous cystic tumors (MCTs) and intraductal papillary-mucinous tumors (IPMTs). Since the cystic teratomas were both filled with keratinous and sebaceous material, they were echogenic, appearing as solid masses on US. Enhanced CT showed their cystic nature, with values slightly higher than water, and MRCP revealed defects of internal signals.

Mature teratoma of the pancreas: CT and MR findings

et al. 2002

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Mature teratoma of the pancreas is an unusual tumor. Like all teratomas it results from abnormal embryonal development of toti potent cells. Their contents may vary and may consist of ectodermal, endodermal, and mesodermal tissues. The radiologic appearance of these lesions depends on the proportions of various tissues of which they are composed. We report, to our knowledge, the first description of its CT and MR appearances.

“…Simple or multiple epithelial-lined cysts may occur in isolation or in association with more generalized disorders such as fibrocystic disease, adult polycystic disease, or von Hippel-Lindau disease [1]. A dermoid cyst of the pancreas has been described [2]. Duplication of enteric cysts related to the pancreas may occur adjacent to the head of the gland, arising from the duodenum.…”
