Abstract:
Lymphoepithelial cyst of the pancreas is a very rare lesion of unknown etiology. It is difficult, on the basis of radiologic images, to differentiate between lymphoepithelial cyst and pancreatic pseudocyst or other cystic neoplasms, particularly if these are mucinous. We describe the sonographic and CT findings in a case of surgically proven lymphoepithelial cyst of the pancreas.
