Abstract:
A 38-year-old woman was admitted for evaluation of cyst-like lesion of the pancreas, which was incidentally found on physical check up. She has been well until the lesion was found except epigastric pain. On endoscopic retrograde pancreatogram, pancreatic head portion revealed a 2 x 2 cm sized cystic mass with marginal calcification. There was no definitive communication between pancreatic duct and cyatic mass, but amylase level of cystic content was increased. Surgical excision was performed, Microspically, the cystic wall showed flat lining epithelium with dense fibrosis and dysplastic calcification accompanied by chronic pancreatitis of adjacent pancreatic tissue.
