Serous Pancreatic Cystadenoma with Compression of Wirsung’s Duct

Abstract: Serous cystadenoma of the pancreas is a common cystic neoplasm typically of benign evolution that rarely communicates with the pancreatic ductal system. We present several images originating from two cases of serous cystadenoma of the pancreas which led to compression and dilatation of Wirsung's duct. These cases suggest that when the diagnosis of pancreatic microcystic lesion is detected, associated, or not associated with a central fibrous scar and a low carcinoembryonic antigen level in the aspirated fluid,… Show more

“…O achado de suposta comunicação entre o cisto e o ducto pancreático principal pode acontecer, principalmente, nos CAS grandes em cabeça do pâncreas, nas quais a simples compressão do ducto pode levar à dilatação. Assim, o cisto grande e próximo do ducto dilatado acaba simulando a comunicação 1 .…”

“…The finding of supposed communication between the cyst and the main pancreatic duct can mainly happen in large SCP in the pancreas head, in which simple compression of the duct can lead to dilation. Thus, the large cyst close to the dilated duct ends up simulating communication 1 .…”

“…Serous cystic neoplasms account for 8–17% of the clinically encountered pancreatic cystic lesions and are predominantly found in middle-aged females [1]. These lesions are usually benign and asymptomatic and present a benign clinical course in the vast majority of patients [2]. Symptoms may occur, typically in those patients with lesions >4 cm in size, and are often attributed to mass effect or to infiltration of adjacent structures.…”
