Summary
A patient initially diagnosed with a pancreatic pseudocyst was found to have a coexisting mucinous cystic neoplasm (MCN) after EUS-guided drainage and subsequent surgery. This case highlights the importance of thorough histopathology for pancreatic cystic lesions.
Area of Science:
- Gastroenterology
- Surgical Pathology
- Oncology
Background:
- Pancreatic cystic lesions pose diagnostic challenges, often mimicking pseudocysts.
- Mucinous cystic neoplasms (MCNs) require accurate differentiation due to malignant potential.

The pancreas, an elongated and flat gland situated behind the stomach, serves a vital function in digesting food and managing blood sugar levels.
Pancreatitis is the inflammation of the pancreas, which occurs when the immune system becomes active and causes swelling, pain, and disruptions in organ function. Pancreatitis can manifest as either an acute or chronic condition.
Acute pancreatitis arises suddenly and lasts for a brief duration, while chronic pancreatitis is a long-term affliction...

The pancreas, an essential organ in the human body, is a pinkish-gray elongated structure located posterior to the stomach. It extends laterally from the duodenum towards the spleen and is firmly bound to the posterior wall of the abdominal cavity. The organ's surface has a lumpy, lobular texture that gives it a unique appearance.
The broad head of the pancreas lies within the loop formed by the duodenum, while its slender body reaches towards the spleen. The tail of the pancreas is short...
