Cystic lymphangioma of the pancreas mimicking pancreatic pseudocyst
Lymphangiomas are rare congenital benign tumors arising from the lymphatic system, and are mostly encountered in the neck and axillary regions of pediatric patients (95%). Lymphangioma of the pancreas is extremely rare accounting for less than 1% of these tumors. We report here on a case of pancreatic cystic lymphangioma. A 54-year-old woman presented with intermittent postprandial abdominal di...
متن کاملPancreatic pseudocyst or a cystic tumor of the pancreas?
Pancreatic pseudocysts are the most common cystic lesions of the pancreas and may complicate acute pancreatitis, chronic pancreatitis, or pancreatic trauma. While the majority of acute pseudocysts resolve spontaneously, few may require drainage. On the other hand, pancreatic cystic tumors, which usually require extirpation, may disguise as pseudocysts. Hence, the distinction between the two ent...
متن کاملDifferentiating Pancreatic Cystic Lesions
Pancreatic cystic lesions (PCLs) may represent malignant or premalignant neoplasms and require diagnostic evaluation. Patient’s demographics and clinical presentation should be considered when diagnosing PCLs. Radiologically, location, ductal relation, external contour, wall, and septal enhancement give important clues for each type of lesion. Imaging features that suggest a high malignancy ris...
متن کاملPancreatic cystic Lesions
• Objective: To review the diagnosis and management of pancreatic cystic lesions. • Methods: Narrative review of the literature. • Results: Pancreatic cystic lesions are clinically relevant as some are precursor lesions to pancreatic adenocarcinoma. Mucinous cystic neoplasms and intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms are 2 commonly encountered pre-cancerous pancreatic cysts. Many cysts are id...
متن کاملRadiology Rounds - Cystic Pancreatic Lesions
As cross-sectional imaging has become more common, there has been a marked increase in the incidental detection of cystic pancreatic lesions. It is estimated that more than a third of these are found in asymptomatic patients. Although knowledge of the natural history of cystic lesions is incomplete at this time, it is known that some cystic pancreatic lesions, including pseudocysts and serous c...
