True pancreatic cysts are rare in adults. Diagnosis often requires surgical histological examination, as imaging like CT scans may not reveal the cyst's exact nature.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Surgical Pathology

Background:

  • True or congenital pancreatic cysts are exceptionally rare in adult patients.
  • Pancreatic cysts can present with varied clinical symptoms.

Observation:

  • Two adult cases of true pancreatic cysts in the head of the pancreas presented with epigastric pain, a palpable mass, and jaundice.
  • Computed tomography (CT) scans visualized the cysts' location and extent but could not determine their nature.

Findings:

  • Histological examination of the cystic wall following surgical intervention provided the definitive diagnosis.
  • This highlights the diagnostic challenges posed by rare pancreatic cystic lesions.

Implications:

  • Emphasizes the importance of surgical exploration and histopathology for diagnosing rare pancreatic cysts.
