  • Title: Cystadenoma and cystadenocarcinoma of the pancreas.
    Author: Barbee CL, DeMello FB, Grage TB.
    Journal: J Surg Oncol; 1976; 8(1):1-10. PubMed ID: 765624.
    Abstract:
    Cystadenoma and cystadenocarcinoma comprise the majority of the true neoplastic cysts of the pancreas. Five cystadenomas and two cystadenocarcinomas of the pancreas were found in a review of the clinical records of the University of Minnesota Hospitals and the Minneapolis Veterans Administration Hospital. The report of these cases serves to review the clinical and pathological features of these neoplasms. These rare neoplastic cysts occur predominantly in women and are not associated with a history of trauma, alcoholism, or pancreatitis. They produce symptoms by compression of neighboring organs and are slow growing, often attaining large size. With complete excision the results of surgical treatment are usually good.
