Pancreatic lesions, particularly cysts, can simulate various diseases. We report a case of a 43-year-old woman with a large, symptomatic, retroperitoneal cyst misdiagnosed as a "renal cyst." During the retroperitoneoscopic marsupialization, the correct diagnosis of a pancreatic cyst was made, leading to an open pancreas tail resection. Histologic evaluation revealed serous cystadenoma. Especially in large retroperitoneal cysts on the left side, the correct diagnosis of a pancreatic cyst can be difficult.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D010190 Pancreatic Neoplasms Tumors or cancer of the PANCREAS. Depending on the types of ISLET CELLS present in the tumors, various hormones can be secreted: GLUCAGON from PANCREATIC ALPHA CELLS; INSULIN from PANCREATIC BETA CELLS; and SOMATOSTATIN from the SOMATOSTATIN-SECRETING CELLS. Most are malignant except the insulin-producing tumors (INSULINOMA).

D018293 Cystadenoma, Serous A cystic tumor of the ovary, containing thin, clear, yellow serous fluid and varying amounts of solid tissue, with a malignant potential several times greater than that of mucinous cystadenoma (CYSTADENOMA, MUCINOUS). It can be unilocular, parvilocular, or multilocular. It is often bilateral and papillary. The cysts may vary greatly in size.
