Lymphoepithelial cyst (LEC) of the pancreas is almost always reported as a case report or in small series mostly in male adult patients with vague clinical manifestations and difficult pre-operative diagnosis. Between the years 2007 and 2012, two female children with LEC of the pancreas were operated on at the Children's Surgical Unit of Murtala Mohammad Specialist Hospital, Kano in northern Nigeria. Satisfactory outcomes were achieved after distal pancreatectomy and splenectomy in one and a Whipple procedure in the other. This benign lesion of the pancreas should be considered in the differential diagnosis of cystic lesions of the pancreas in children.
胰腺淋巴上皮囊肿（LEC）几乎仅以个案报告或小系列报告的形式出现，主要发生在有模糊临床表现且术前诊断困难的成年男性患者中。2007 年至 2012 年间，尼日利亚北部卡诺州默塔拉·穆罕默德专科医院小儿外科部为两名女性儿童患者进行了胰腺 LEC 手术。其中一名患者行胰体尾切除术加脾切除术，另一名患者行 Whipple 手术，均获得了满意的效果。对于儿童胰腺囊性病变，应考虑将这种胰腺良性病变作为鉴别诊断。
