[Microcystic adenoma of the pancreas].

Microcyst adenomas of the pancreas are rare tumours with characteristic cysts lining the cubic and cylindric epithelia with a clear cytoplasm rich in glycogen. Unlike, mucinous cyst adenomas, there is no tendency toward malignancy. We report a case in a 58-year-old woman and emphasize the importance of precise pre- or per-operative diagnosis in order to avoid excessive exeresis for benign tumour. Certain authors propose abstention and follow up.
