Introduction: Pancreatic cystic lesions contain a wide range of diseases that can be divided into neoplastic and non-neoplastic cysts. Mucinous non-neoplastic cyst (MNC) is a new non-neoplastic cystic lesion that has recently been reported.
Materials and Procedures: Imaging (ultrasound
and CT) as well as invasive techniques were used to assess the diagnosis
histologically. Eleven pancreatic cystic lesions were described, all of which
were detected by ultrasonography and computed tomography while they were being
employed for other purposes.
Discussion and Conclusions: In the body of the pancreas, a 26-33 mm cyst was
identified, which appeared to communicate with the pancreatic duct. Endoscopic
Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography, as well as liver function, serum CEA, and
carbohydrate antigen C19 -9 laboratory tests, were all normal. Following a
distal pancreatectomy, six patients developed a simple cyst bordered with
mucinous epithelium. The other five examples have remained the same size and
structure after two years of observation.
Conclusion: Because it is impossible to be certain that the lesions are benign,
we urge that individuals diagnosed with a 'benign' mucinous neoplasm be
constantly watched. Furthermore, the MNC's status as a true one-of-a-kind
cystic lesion is questionable.
