INTRODUCTION Adenocarcinoma of the ovary is an aggressive neoplasm which often metastasizes to the lung or liver. Metastases rarely occur to the pancreas, but a tissue diagnosis is required to confirm this event. Although most tumors of the pancreas are primary pancreatic neoplasms, metastatic lesions have been reported most commonly as arising from renal cell carcinoma. CASE PRESENTATION We ...

Pancreatic cysts include inflammatory pseudocysts, cystic tumors (serous and mucinous), and various rare cystic lesions. We report a case of a ciliated enteric duplication cyst that presented on computed tomographic scan as a pancreatic cystic neoplasm. Cyst fluid analysis revealed markedly increased concentrations of carcinoembryonic antigen and CA 125 and increased fluid viscosity. These feat...

CONTEXT An intraductal oncocytic papillary neoplasm is a rare pancreatic tumor with the potential of developing invasive carcinoma. Its differentiation from other cystic-like neoplasms of the pancreas, such as intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms, is a challenge for pancreatic imaging. CASE REPORT We present the case of a 76-year-old male with painless jaundice caused by an intraductal on...

A 76-year-old female patient was admitted at hospital with diarrhea, weight loss, fatigue and abdominal pain. Her physical examination and laboratory test were normal; however, the radiological images showed an atrophic pancreas with cystic dilatation of the main pancreatic duct. Severe dilatation of the main pancreatic duct was confirmed on EUS, with the presence of round images of mucinous ag...

A 59-year-old woman, suffering from back pain, visited a territory hospital. A large cystic tumor was found in the left upper abdomen by an abdominal ultrasonography. The patient was referred to our hospital, and computed tomography (CT) scan demonstrated a large unilocular cystic tumor with multiple septa, sized 15 cm in diameter, in the pancreatic tail (Fig. 1). No solid components of the cys...

Low-grade appendiceal mucinous neoplasms (LAMN) are rarely seen. They incidentally detected during an appendectomy for appendicitis. Treatment is in low-grade neoplasms. Those having adverse features based on the appendix, lymph node metastasis, and tumour size greater than 2 cm, with hemicolectomy done. We present a rare case report of neoplasm diagnosed managed by right hemicolectomy.

An 80-year-old female presented with one month history of acutely worsening abdominal distention and pain, without features of bowel obstruction. A giant intra-abdominal simple cyst, separate from the ovaries, was seen on imaging. Initial haematological and biochemical investigations, including tumour markers, were normal. At laparotomy, the cystic tumour was discovered to arise from the sigmoi...

Mucinous cystic neoplasms of the pancreas are rare primary tumors. They have pathologic and clinical similarities to biliary cystadenomas of the liver and mucinous cystic tumors of the ovary. Mucinous cystic neoplasms of the pancreas typically affect middle-aged women and arise in the tail of the pancreas. Gross pathologic and imaging features usually are those of a large, multilocular cystic m...

A 57 year old woman presented complaining of increasing abdominal swelling of six months duration. A mixed solid cystic left ovarian tumour measuring 24 cm in diameter was excised. Histology showed numerous cysts lined by benign mucinous epithelium blending imperceptibly into borderline clear cell and mucinous areas that in turn merged with an invasive clear cell carcinoma. To the best of our k...
