Although many types of pancreatic tumors exist, pancreatic solid serous cystadenoma stand as the most rare. Despite advances in medical imaging, definitive diagnosis remains complex. Here, we report a case of a 63-year-old man with a suspicious lesion of the pancreas discovered during a positron emission tomography–computed tomography. Despite an echo-endoscopy being performed, no biopsies were contributive. The magnetic resonance imaging did highlight another lesion in the liver. Due to the suspicion of a neuroendocrine tumor of the pancreas with liver metastases, a cephalic duodenopancreatectomy with partial hepatectomy was performed. During the procedure, another hepatic lesion was resected. The final histological diagnosis was a serous solid adenoma of the pancreas associated with a cholangiocarcinoma. During the follow-up, the patient presented a massive metastatic hepatic relapse even after the administration of a palliative chemotherapy.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
