Abstract:There have been numerous reports that mucinous cystadenoma of the pancreas can transform to mucinous cystadenocarcinoma after cystenterostomy, but few authors have reported morphological changes long after cystenterostomy for mucinous cystadenoma. A 41-year-old Japanese woman had undergone cystgastrostomy at a nearby hospital 11 years before undergoing the treatment reported here. The preoperative diagnosis at the time of cystgastrostomy was a pancreatic cyst. At laparotomy a cyst, measuring 10cm in diameter, … Show more
“…Rarely, surgical internal drainage has been reported for cystic pancreatic neoplasm [7] . However, in most series drainage was only performed when the cystic lesion was misdiagnosed as a pseudocyst [7][8][9][10][11] .…”

“…Subsequent surgical resection was performed when the diagnosis was corrected [7] . Further series also described the accidental drainage of mucinous neoplasms mistaken for pseudocysts [8][9][10][11] . To our knowledge, no prior reports of intentional palliative EUS-guided drainage of malignant pancreatic cysts have been described in the English literature.…”
