    Abstract:
    Two cases are presented of papillary-cystic carcinoma of the pancreas diagnosed and treated in the II General Surgery Service of the Gregorio Marañón General Hospital of Madrid (Spain) over the last six years. Both occurred in young women who presented with pain and abdominal mass. The tumors were large and were located on the tail of the pancreas. One was treated by local resection and the other by distal pancreatectomy. Both women are free of disease after a follow-up period of 6 years and 10 months, respectively. This is a very infrequent tumor, about 100 cases having been described up until the present, and it has a very favorable prognosis. Its clinical, diagnostic, pathologic, therapeutic and prognostic features are analyzed.
