    Abstract:
    Serous cystadenoma (SCA) is the most common cystic neoplasm of the pancreas. Serous cystadenoma is best diagnosed by imaging with computed tomography scan. Fine-needle aspiration cytology is required for definitive preoperative diagnosis. Serous cystadenoma may be sometime difficult to differentiate from pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor (PNET) in the preoperative stage. Differentiating the two entities are important for proper treatment strategy. Serous cystadenoma may be managed in expectant observation. However, all PNETs will need surgical treatment including pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD). Here, we present a rare presentation of serous cystadenoma head of pancreas masquerading as PNET with local compressive symptoms for which Whipple's PD was done successfully.
