Popis: Mixed serous-neuroendocrine neoplasm constitutes pancreatic serous cystic neoplasms and pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor, two tumor components with different underlying pathologies. The differentiation of these tumors is important as the management and prognosis depend on the pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor component. We report a case of mixed serous-neuroendocrine neoplasm in a 47-year-old female who presented with epigastric pain abdomen for two years. Imaging studies, tumor markers, thorough systemic evaluation, surgical resection, histopathological examination, and timely follow-up constituted our management approach. A 4 cm × 4 cm mass in the distal pancreas with multiple cysts in the pancreatic parenchyma containing serous fluid on distal pancreatectomy and splenectomy was found. The histopathological examination revealed combined benign serous cystadenoma and neuroendocrine tumor. She did not have any recurrence or metastasis by four years of follow-up.
