Abstract
|
|
|
Pancreatic cystadenoma is a very rare slow-growing cystic lesion that only about 350 cases were reported in the literlatures. The lesions occur predominantly in late middle aged woman characterized by a slowly growing palpable mass in the
epigastrium.
The etiology of the cystadenoma is still obscure. Pancreatic mucinous cystadenoma occur predominatly in the tail and the body of the pancreas. Pancreatic mucinous cystadenoma has a definite malignant potential in contrast to microcystic(serous)
cystadenoma which is benign and then total excision is the ideal treatment for pancreatic mucinous cystadenoma.
A 54 year old woman patient was admitted to this hospital with the complaints of epigastric discomfort and the discovery of a slow growing palpable mass in left upper quadrant abdomen for the preceding 7 years. Exploratory laparatomy was
performed
which
disclosed a smooth cystic mass about 15cm in diameter in the tail of the pancreas. The cut surface of the tumor showed multiple cyst containing gray mucinous fluid. The mass was adhered to the stomach and jejunum. For the complete excision o the
tumor,
distal pancreatectomy and splenectomy were performed. Histopathological examination confirmed the mucinous cystadenoma of the pancreas.(Korean J Gastroenterol 1994 ; 26 : 210-213)
