Introduction: Pancreatic lymphoepithelial cyst is a rare
benign lesion that usually presents itself as an incidental radiological
finding. Symptoms mayinclude abdominal pain, weight loss, nausea or compression
of adjacent structures. The differential diagnosis includes most of the
pancreatic cystic lesions, even benign or malignant tumours. In most cases, for
the final diagnosis, fine needle aspiration or surgery can be required. Case Report: We report a case of a giant
pancreatic lymphoepithelial cyst in a 43-year-old man with abdominal pain and
weight loss. In this case, radical surgery wasconsidered a too difficult
procedure and due to benignity of the tumour, conservative resection was
elected. Conclusion: Surgery can be the
final diagnosis test in case of pancreatic lymphoepithelial cyst due to
diagnostic uncertainty. Conservative resection can be a good option in case of
complex resection, with a low rate of postoperative complications and without
risk of tumoural degeneration.
