Serous 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 incidental findings [2]. 3% of serous cystadenomas are characterized as having malignant potential with local infiltration and distant metastases despite the fact that they are considered benign lesions [2]. MDCT is the initial imaging modality of choice for evaluation of cystic lesions of the pancreas [3].
