The many faces of pancreatic serous cystadenoma: Radiologic and pathologic correlation.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Pancreatic serous cystadenoma can be categorized into microcystic, honeycomb, oligocystic, and solid patterns based on imaging appearance. The presence of typical computed tomography (CT) features helps to differentiate serous cystadenomas from other cystic and solid pancreatic masses. Cases with atypical features present a diagnostic challenge as they can mimic malignant neoplasms. This article reviews pathophysiology, prevalence, CT features, mimickers and recommendations for management of pancreatic serous cystadenoma.

Simultaneous serous cystadenoma of the pancreas and mucinous cystadenoma of the appendix.
CONTEXT Serous cystadenoma of the pancreas and mucinous tumors of the vermiform appendix are rare. To our knowledge, the simultaneous occurrence of these two tumors has not been reported. CASE REPORT Here, we report an adult female who presented with signs and symptoms of appendicitis. A preoperative CT scan confirmed the findings of appendicitis and also showed an incidental large mass in th...
متن کاملMacrocystic serous cystadenoma of the pancreas in a young patient resembling a pseudocyst: case report and literature review.
Macrocystic serous cystadenoma is an unusual and essentially benign pancreatic tumor. Ages of reported cases are usually 60 years and over, with a mean age of 54 years. Herein, we report on a 26-year-old man who presented with upper abdominal pain. A cystic lesion in the mid-portion of the pancreas was revealed by abdominal computed tomography, and a pseudocyst was suspected. A distal pancreate...
متن کاملPancreatic cyst fluid triage: a critical component of the preoperative evaluation of pancreatic cysts.
Pancreatic cysts are a complex group of benign, malignant, and premalignant lesions with diverse clinical, radiologic, and pathologic features. It is no longer believed that the vast majority of pancreatic cysts are pseudocysts, inclusion cysts, or benign neoplastic cysts that do not require follow-up. Our knowledge and understanding of neoplastic pancreatic cysts in general, and mucinous pancr...
متن کاملSerous Cystadenoma of the Pancreas: Radio-Anatomical Correlation
Pancreatic serous cystic neoplasms are rare lesions accounting for approximately 16% of primary cystic pancreatic neoplasms [1]. These lesions are now encountered with greater frequency due to increased availability and use of high-resolution imaging such as multi-detector computed tomography (MDCT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and MR cholangiopancreatography (MRCP), and are often incident...
متن کاملCystic pancreatic neoplasms.
Cystic pancreatic neoplasms comprise a heterogeneous group of pathologic entities. Mucinous cystic tumors and serous cystadenomas account for more than 75% of reported cases. While serous cystadenomas are almost uniformly benign, mucinous cystic tumors all have malignant potential and must be treated as such. While both clinical and biochemical features can distinguish among the various cystic ...
