OBJECTIVE To determine the occurrence of new disease in the pancreatic remnant after resection for intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms. DESIGN A longitudinal level II cohort study. SETTING Virginia Mason Medical Center, Seattle, Washington. PATIENTS The primary cohort was a "resection cohort" of 203 patients who underwent partial pancreatic resection for an intraductal papillary muci...

Cystic lesions of the pancreas are increasingly recognized. While some lesions show benign behaviour (serous cystic neoplasm), others have an unequivocal malignant potential (mucinous cystic neoplasm, branch- and main duct intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm and solid pseudo-papillary neoplasm). European expert pancreatologists provide updated recommendations: diagnostic computerized tomogr...

We report a case of pancreatic solid pseudopapillary tumor that was diagnosed in a 36-year-old female patient. This neoplasm usually occurs in young women. Solid and cystic areas form a characteristic appearance of this tumor. Surgical resection is the mainstay of treatment and is possible in the majority of cases. Neoplasm is associated with a low-grade malignancy and a very good outlook.

Macrocystic serous cystadenoma is an unusual and essentially benign pancreatic tumor. Herein, we report on a 40-year-old woman diagnosed with macrocystic serous cystadenoma who presented with obstructive jaundice. A cystic lesion in the head and body of the pancreas was revealed by abdominal computed tomography. Intraoperative pancreatic cyst aspiration ruled out mucinous cystic neoplasm which ...

Pancreatic cystosis may begin during the second decade of life and is the rarest presentation of cystic fibrosis. This disease is characterized by the presence of multiloculated cysts without ductal system communication ...
