An unusual case of a coexistent serous cystadenoma and intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm of pancreas. EUS to the rescue!

چکیده
CONTEXT Synchronous cystic neoplasms of pancreas are a highly rare occurrence. CASE REPORT We report a very rare case of coexistent serous cystadenoma and multi-side branch intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm (IPMN). CONCLUSION To our knowledge, there has been only one previous case report in the literature of a synchronous serous cystadenoma and a solitary IPMN lesion. This case report is intended to increase the awareness of this condition while alluding to the need for diligent examination by endosonographers. It also highlights the clinical impact of endosonography on the diagnosis and management of cystic legions in the pancreas.

Although the exact prevalence of cystic pancreatic lesions is unknown, it is estimated to be around 1% of the general population based on large scale observational imaging studies [1]. While cystic pancreatic lesions are increasingly diagnosed due to the widespread use of cross-sectional imaging modalities like computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), it is not known if th...
متن کاملEUS Morphology Is Reliable in Selecting Patients with Mucinous Pancreatic Cyst(s) Most Likely to Benefit from Surgical Resection
BACKGROUND AND STUDY AIMS Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) surveillance of patients with mucinous pancreatic cysts relies on the assessment of morphologic features suggestive of malignant transformation. These criteria were derived from the evaluation of surgical pathology in patients with pancreatic cysts who underwent surgery. Reliability of these criteria when evaluated by EUS in identifying lesi...
متن کاملEUS in cystic lesions of the pancreas.
The differential diagnosis for cystic lesions of the pancreas is broad and the role of EUS is becoming more clearly defined. Pancreatic cysts may be inflammatory, such as pseudocysts, in which the cyst wall lacks an epithelium. Inflammatory cells line the fluid collection, which may often be located adjacent to an area of acute or chronic pancreatitis. Other types of pancreatic cysts may be bro...
