Pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors are typically solid neoplasms but in rare instances may present as cystic lesions. Preoperative diagnosis of a cystic pancreatic lesion is challenging and requires a multidisciplinary and multimodal approach. We hereby describe an elderly female who came with complaints of abdominal lump. Radiologically, it appeared to be a pancreatic hydatid cyst located at the head of the pancreas, following which resection was done. Histopathological study of the lesion turned out to be a cystic pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor. Thus, we present this unique case due to its rarity and diagnostic challenge.
胰腺神经内分泌肿瘤通常为实性肿瘤，但在罕见情况下可能表现为囊性病变。术前诊断囊性胰腺病变具有挑战性，需要多学科和多模式方法。我们在此描述一位老年女性，她因腹部肿块前来就诊。影像学检查显示，它似乎是一个位于胰头的胰腺包虫囊肿，随后进行了切除。病变的组织病理学研究结果为囊性胰腺神经内分泌肿瘤。因此，由于其罕见性和诊断挑战性，我们呈现这个独特病例。
