Cystic lesions of pancreas include a myriad of different conditions ranging from the common pseudocyst to unusual cystic neoplasm. With the development of better imaging modalities, cystic neoplasms are diagnosed with greater frequency and accuracy leading on to better understanding of the natural course of these lesions. Serous cystadenoma is one of the rare neoplasms of the pancreas that is unique for its benign nature. Most of the time surgery is indicated for the symptom of pain when the lesion enlarges. Surgery may also be indicated due to the fact that, it may not always be possible to dogmatically differentiate it from the potentially malignant counterpart radiologically. One of the interesting aspects about serous cystadenoma is its association with other systemic disorders like von Hippel Lindau syndrome. Herein we report a rare association of serous cystadenoma with mediastinal lipoma, which has not been reported in the literature.
胰腺囊性病变包括从常见的假性囊肿到罕见的囊性肿瘤等众多不同情况。随着更好的成像方式的发展，囊性肿瘤的诊断频率和准确性更高，从而对这些病变的自然病程有了更好的了解。浆液性囊腺瘤是胰腺罕见的肿瘤之一，其良性性质独特。大多数情况下，当病变增大出现疼痛症状时需进行手术。由于在影像学上不一定总能明确将其与潜在恶性的同类病变区分开来，所以也可能需要手术。浆液性囊腺瘤的一个有趣之处在于它与其他全身性疾病如冯·希佩尔-林道综合征有关。在此我们报告一例浆液性囊腺瘤与纵隔脂肪瘤的罕见关联，这在文献中尚未见报道。
