Lymphoepithelial cysts of the pancreas are a type of true cyst that can mimic pseudocysts and cystic neoplasms. They are very rare, non-malignant lesions that are unilocular or multilocular cystic lesions lined predominantly by mature squamous epithelium and surrounded by non-neoplastic lymphoid elements. We, herein, present a patient with a cystic pancreas tumor mimicking a malignant cystic ne...

LECs are rare lesions; fewer than 90 cases have been reported in the English language literature. The case of a 60-year-old man with an LEC of the pancreas is reported. He was admitted with upper ...

Authors present a case of a retroperitoneal lymphoepithelial cyst, which occurs rarely in this localisation. The histological picture is reminiscent of a branchiogen cyst. Usually it is recognised accidentally, with US or CT examinations performed for other reasons. In case the general condition of the patient is satisfactory, the surgical removal of such a tumour is recommended, since it is al...
متن کاملLymphoepithelial cyst: a rare cystic tumor of the pancreas which mimics carcinoma.
Pancreatic cystic lesions are usually inflammatory pseudocysts (90%) or, infrequently, neoplastic processes [1]. A lymphoepithelial cyst (LEC) of the pancreas is a rare true cyst of this organ and is lined by squamous epithelial tissue surrounded by lymphoid tissue with germinal centers [2]. This rarely seen lesion should be considered in the differential diagnosis of cystic neoplasms of the pa...
