Abstract
|
|
|
Cystadenomas of the pancreas are uncommon tumors accounting for 5 to 15 percent of pancreatic cystic lesions with less than 300 examples of this entity having been reported in the literature. Cystadenomas are subdivided into microcystic
adenoma(serous
cystic adenoma) and mucinous cystic adenoma, the former does not appear to have any malignant potential, while the latter has to be considered as potentially malignant. Microcystic adenoma occurs in elderly patients, is twice as common in woman,
and
originates from any location in the pancreas. In contrast, mucinous cystic adenoma prevails in middle aged woman and is located most frequently in the body and tail of the pancreas. The tumors are discovered by chance during investigation for
causes of
the pains. In some cases, the cyst may compress adjacent structures but a palpable mass is uncommon findings. The diagnosis may be suspected clinically, on ultrasonography, computed tomography and endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreaticography.
We
report each case of microcystic adenoma and mucinous cystic adenoma of the pancreas in 31 years old female and 57 years old female with a review of the literatures. (Korean J Gastroenterol 1994 ; 26 : 761-757)
