Cystic neoplasms of the pancreas are rare, accounting for less than 1% of all pancreatic tumors Since the advent of computerized tomography (CT), an increasing number of these lesions are being discovered incidentally. Compagno and Oertel were the first to thoroughly describe and differentiate the benign serous cystadenoma from the potentially or overtly malignant mucinous cystadenoma/cystadenocarcinoma spectrum. At present, our ability to definitively differentiate between these two classes of cystic neoplasms is limited. Because of this, controversy exists as to their appropriate surgical management. A case report is presented and followed by a review of the literature on incidentally detected cystic neoplasms of the pancreas.
胰腺囊性肿瘤较为罕见，占所有胰腺肿瘤的比例不到1%。自计算机断层扫描（CT）问世以来，越来越多此类病变被偶然发现。康帕尼奥和奥特尔率先全面描述并区分了良性浆液性囊腺瘤与潜在或明显恶性的黏液性囊腺瘤/囊腺癌谱系。目前，我们明确区分这两类囊性肿瘤的能力有限。正因如此，关于其合适的手术治疗存在争议。本文呈现了一则病例报告，并随后回顾了有关偶然发现的胰腺囊性肿瘤的文献。
