췌장의 점액성 낭선종 1 예 = A Case of Mucinous Cystadenoma Of the Pancreas

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Cystic neoplasms of the pancreas are uncommon. They are believed to arise from the epithelium of the larger pancreatic ducts, and are more common in middle-aged women. Cystic neoplasms of the pancreas often are difficult to differentiate from pseudocysts by preoperative clinical, laboratory, and radiologic findings. The pancreatic cystadenoma is divided into serous and mucinous cystadenomas. Serous cystadenomas are benign in nature during the clinical course, whereas mucinous cystadenomas are either frankly or potentially malignant, and complete excision of cystadenoma is the treatment of choice. Recently we experienced one case of mucinous cystadenoma of the pancreas in a 34-year-old female, and we report it with a review of the literature.
