The pancreatic cystic serous neoplasms are divided into two categories: benign serous cystadenoma (SCA) and malignant serous cystadenocarcinoma. Furthermore, based on the macroscopic appearances, SCAs are subdivided into serous microcystic adenomas (SMAs) and serous oligocystic or macrocystic adenomas.
Report of a new case of SMA in which we emphasize on the diagnostic difficulties encountered against such tumor despite its relatively radiological easiness compared to the other variants.
We report the case of 84 year-old-woman with a microcystic serous cystadenoma of the pancreas which was identified on pathologic examination of the surgical specimen, after unconclusive abdominal ultrasound and computed tomography (CT)- scan.
This case describes this rare entity and emphasizes that the diagnosis of such entity is still based on pathological examination after tumor removal.
胰腺囊性浆液性肿瘤分为两类：良性浆液性囊腺瘤（SCA）和恶性浆液性囊腺癌。此外，根据宏观表现，SCA可细分为浆液性微囊性腺瘤（SMA）和浆液性少囊性或大囊性腺瘤。
报告一例SMA新病例，尽管与其他变体相比，该肿瘤在放射学上相对容易诊断，但我们仍强调在诊断过程中遇到的困难。
我们报告了一例84岁女性患者，其胰腺存在微囊性浆液性囊腺瘤，该病例在腹部超声和计算机断层扫描（CT）检查结果不明确后，经手术标本病理检查得以确诊。
本病例描述了这种罕见的实体，并强调该实体的诊断仍需在肿瘤切除后进行病理检查。
