Recent advances in diagnostic imaging procedures offer the opportunity for detection of rare cystic neoplasms of the pancreas. Cystadenomas of the pancreas have been reported to represent 10% of cystic pancreatic lesions. Serous microcystic cystadenoma, megacystic mucinous and duct-ectatic mucinous cystadenoma were distinguished. While the serous cystadenoma is benign, in general the megacystic and the duct-ectatic mucinous cystadenoma have a significant malignant potential. With pancreatoscopy, a rather new endoscopic technique, five cases of mucinous megacystic cystadenoma were diagnosed preoperatively by macroscopic and microscopic means. In one case, development of malignant neoplasm was diagnosed, one patient did not undergo surgery because of her age. Three patients were operated (total pancreatectomy in one case, duodeno-hemipancreatectomy in two cases) and are without any further signs of recurrence and free of symptoms in a one year to four year clinical follow-up.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008297 Male Males
D008875 Middle Aged An adult aged 45 - 64 years. Middle Age
D010179 Pancreas A nodular organ in the ABDOMEN that contains a mixture of ENDOCRINE GLANDS and EXOCRINE GLANDS. The small endocrine portion consists of the ISLETS OF LANGERHANS secreting a number of hormones into the blood stream. The large exocrine portion (EXOCRINE PANCREAS) is a compound acinar gland that secretes several digestive enzymes into the pancreatic ductal system that empties into the DUODENUM.
D010180 Pancreatectomy Surgical removal of the pancreas. (Dorland, 28th ed) Pancreatectomies
D010183 Pancreatic Ducts Ducts that collect PANCREATIC JUICE from the PANCREAS and supply it to the DUODENUM.

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).

D002760 Cholangiopancreatography, Endoscopic Retrograde Fiberoptic endoscopy designed for duodenal observation and cannulation of VATER'S AMPULLA, in order to visualize the pancreatic and biliary duct system by retrograde injection of contrast media. Endoscopic (Vater) papillotomy (SPHINCTEROTOMY, ENDOSCOPIC) may be performed during this procedure.

D003536 Cystadenocarcinoma A malignant neoplasm derived from glandular epithelium, in which cystic accumulations of retained secretions are formed. The neoplastic cells manifest varying degrees of anaplasia and invasiveness, and local extension and metastases occur. Cystadenocarcinomas develop frequently in the ovaries, where pseudomucinous and serous types are recognized. (Stedman, 25th ed) Cystadenocarcinomas
