    Author: Casadei R, Pezzilli R, Calculli L, Santini D, Taffurelli G, Ricci C, D'Ambra M, Minni F.
    Journal: JOP; 2012 Nov 10; 13(6):687-9. PubMed ID: 23183402.
    Abstract:
    CONTEXT: Mucinous cystic neoplasm (MCN) of the pancreas usually affects female patients and is characterized by an ovarian-type stroma. From literature review, only 9 cases of MCNs have been reported in male patients. CASE REPORT: We describe the 10th case of a MCN in a 65-year-old male patient who underwent a distal pancreatectomy with spleen resection and standard lymphadenectomy. CONCLUSIONS: MCN may rarely regard male patients, probably for embryological abnormalities.
