Cystic neoplasms of the pancreas often are difficult to differentiate from pseudocysts. It has been proposed that a history of clinical pancreatitis, elevated serum pancreatic enzymes, elevated cyst fluid amylase, and a communication with the pancreatic duct suggest the diagnosis of a pseudocyst. We report the case of a young Homan who presented with a cystic mass in the pancreas and was thought to have a pseudocyst because of the above; at surgery, a mucinous cystadenoma was documented. The pitfalls of differentiating neoplastic cysts of the pancreas from pseudocysts are discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
