Giant serous microcystic pancreas adenoma
Serous cystadenomas are rare tumors comprising 1-2% of exocrine pancreas tumors. They are mostly known as benign conditions but malign transformation as serous cystadenocarcinoma is also reported. It is usually seen in females. Non-specific symptoms, such as abdominal pain or symptoms due to mass affect, are usually seen. A 64-year old female patient was investigated for abdominal pain.

متن کاملSolid serous microcystic tumor of the pancreas.
it is known that pancreatic serous cystic tumors are uncommon pancreatic tumors. Grossly, they are more frequently microcystic or oligocystic [1]. The solid form is rarely described in literature. To our knowledge, only four cases of solid serous neoplasms have been described [2, 3, 4, 5] (Table 1). Herein, we present the fifth case of solid serous cystic neoplasm of the pancreas. She was a 59-...
متن کاملSolid serous microcystic adenoma of the pancreas
BACKGROUND Cystic neoplasms of the pancreas are less common than solid tumors, and portend a better prognosis. They can be divided into serous and mucinous subtypes, with the former behaving less aggressively and generally considered benign. Of the serous neoplasms, serous microcystic adenoma is the most common. An extremely rare solid variant of serous microcystic adenoma lacking secretory cap...
متن کاملEnormous serous microcystic adenoma of the pancreas.
Serous microcystic adenomas or serous cystadenomas are rare and account for 1-2% of the exocrine neoplasms of the pancreas. Recently, due to the improvements in imaging techniques, they have been identified more frequently. We present the case of a patient in whom a serous microcystic adenoma, 26 cm in diameter, was found incidentally in the pancreas, the largest reported in the literature thus...
متن کاملSerous Adenoma of the Pancreas With Multiple Microcysts Communicating With the Pancreatic Duct
The rare neoplastic cystic adenomas of the pancreas form two groups of tumors: macrocystic mucinous and microcystic serous adenomas. Both entities show specific radiologic and histologic features. Several recent case reports, however, suggest some diversity within the group of microcystic serous adenomas. We present the case of a young man operated because of epigastric pain for 12 months and a...
