A Case of Squamoid Cyst of Pancreatic Ducts Shown Malignant Behavior

Abstract

Detection of cystic lesions in the pancreas has increased because of the widespread use of high-resolution diagnostic imaging techniques. Therefore, cystic lesions of the pancreas constitute an increasingly important category with a challenging differential diagnosis. Squamoid cyst of pancreatic ducts is a recently recognized type of cystic lesion in the pancreas in which cystically dilated ducts are lined by nonkeratinized squamous epithelium. Although it is clinically known as benign cystic lesion, we experienced its malignant behavior and report here with review of the international literatures.
