Cystic neoplasms of the pancreas are rare and their diagnosis and treatment can be difficult. This report details 7 patients who had histologically proven serous cystadenoma, mucinous cystadenoma and cystadeno carcinoma. Computed tomography and sonography allowed excellent preoperative assessment but to attempt a distinction between the histological variants may be hazardous. Two tumours were o...

CONTEXT Acoustic radiation force impulse imaging is an emerging imaging modality. The study of the pancreas is a new and promising application of ultrasound acoustic radiation force impulse imaging. CASE REPORT We present the first case of pancreatic serous cystadenoma which mimics a solid neoplasm at conventional imaging (US and CT), correctly diagnosed as cystic at ultrasound acoustic radia...

Microcystic serous cystadenoma is a benign tumor of pancreas, also termed as Clear cell or Glycogen rich adenoma. It occurs at any site in pancreas and composed of small cystic spaces lined by small cuboidal cells with clear cytoplasm, glycogen. There is an association with von Hippel Lindau syndrome in few cases. Clinical symptoms are variable. Excision is almost curative. We report a case of ...

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...

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...

A 16-year old female presented to hospital with abdominal pain. Features on computed tomography raised the possibility of biliary cystadenoma or cystadenocarcinoma. She underwent a liver resection, and histopathology confirmed a serous biliary cystadenoma. This case is presented to highlight the radiological features of this uncommon pre-malignant condition as well as to summarize a management ...

Benign serous cystic tumors of the pancreas are rare and include microcystic serous adenoma, serous oligocystic adenoma (SOA), illdemarcated adenoma, and macrocystic serous cystadenoma. Microcystic serous adenoma usually present are either unilocular cyst or single lesion containing fewer cysts of more than 2 cm in diameter. It is a rare tumor which usually varies from 2–10 cm in size and at ti...
