Abstract

The majority of the cysts developed in pancreas are inflammatory pseudocyst but neoplastic cysts are rarely encountered Especially, mucinous cystadenoma which was begun and originated from epithelial cell of pancreatic duct is difficult to differentiate from pseudocysts by preoperative clinical, laboratory and radiologic findings. Mucinous cystadenoma has a malignant potentiality, so complete excision of cystadenoma is the treatment of choice. Recently, we experienced one case of mucionus cystadenoma in 37 year-old female, we report it with a review of the literature.
