Lymphoepithelial cyst of the pancreas is a rare lesion of undetermined pathogenesis that had been documented almost exclusively in males. The literature on this entity is limited to reports of single or a small number of cases.
The case we described herein was compared with a total of 36 cases reported elsewhere.
The 37 cases of lymphoepithelial cyst of the pancreas including our case were reviewed. Lymphoepithelial cysts have uniform and distinctive clinicopathologic features. Approximately 46% of the reported cases were asymptomatic with the lesions found incidentally, and their symptoms were non-specific.
Lymphoepithelial cyst is a rare benign lesion of the pancreas. Fine-needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) is a rapid and reliable technique that can be used as the first diagnostic step in cases of cystic lesions of the pancreas.
胰腺淋巴上皮囊肿是一种发病机制不明的罕见病变，几乎仅见于男性。关于该实体的文献仅限于单个或少数病例的报告。
将我们在此描述的病例与其他地方报道的总共36例病例进行比较。
对包括我们的病例在内的37例胰腺淋巴上皮囊肿病例进行了回顾。淋巴上皮囊肿具有一致且独特的临床病理特征。约46%的报告病例无症状，病变为偶然发现，其症状无特异性。
淋巴上皮囊肿是胰腺罕见的良性病变。细针穿刺活检（FNAB）是一种快速可靠的技术，可作为胰腺囊性病变病例的首要诊断步骤。
