“…Four cases were histologically diagnosed as benign mucinous cystadenoma [3][4][5][6] , while the other four were diagnosed as mucinous cystadenocarcinoma [7][8][9][10] . Our case might be the first case of pancreatic MCN with moderate dysplasia (also referred to as "borderline tumor"), in association with pregnancy.…”

“…Mucinous cystadenocarcinoma can be considered not only as a neoplasm arising de novo but also as an evolution of the benign form [8] . As large tumor size was reported to be one of the predictive factors of malignant MCNs [13] , it is prudent to assume that the increased growth of MCNs during pregnancy brings with it some degree of increased risk for malignant transformation [9] .…”

“…Pancreatic MCNs occur almost exclusively in females, and are potentially sex hormonesensitive, according to the studies reported to date [2] . However, MCNs encountered in pregnancy are rare; only eight such cases have been reported in the English literature [3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10] . In this report, we describe a 30-year-old woman with a large pancreatic MCN that grew rapidly during the early stage of pregnancy.…”

Mucinous cystic neoplasms (MCNs) of the pancreas occur mostly in females and are potentially sex hormone-sensitive. However, a MCN occurring during pregnancy is quite rare. A 30-year-old woman in the tenth week of pregnancy was referred to us because of a rapid increase in left hypochondrial distending pain. On ultrasound, the patient had a large intra-abdominal cystic lesion. She was thereafter diagnosed with missed abortion and a computed tomography scan showed that the lesion was a cystic tumor 18 cm in diameter originating from the pancreatic tail. The patient subsequently underwent tumor resection with distal pancreatectomy, sparing the spleen. Histopathological analysis of the specimen revealed a pancreatic MCN with moderate dysplasia. Immunohistochemically, the tumor was positive for both estrogen and progesterone receptors. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of pancreatic MCN with moderate dysplasia in association with pregnancy. Our case strongly indicates that pancreatic MCN is female-hormone dependent.

“…1,2 Although pregnancy can be complicated by pancreatic neoplasms, MCN associated with pregnancy is extremely rare; only four cases of pancreatic mucinous cystadenoma and two cases of pancreatic mucinous cystadenocarcinoma have been previously reported. [3][4][5][6][7][8] The management of MCN of the pancreas, particularly during pregnancy, is not standardized. The decision whether to observe or to operate can be diffi cult and complicated.…”

A 33-year-old woman, gravida 2, para 1, was diagnosed to have a benign mucinous cystic neoplasm of the pancreas 5 months before delivery. The tumor measured 12 cm in diameter at the time of diagnosis. The antenatal course was uneventful, and a vaginal delivery produced a normal infant. By 2 months after delivery, the tumor reached 18 cm. At surgery, a huge cyst was found to originate from the pancreas, and a distal pancreatectomy with splenectomy was performed. The cystic mass was multilocular 18 x 17 x 12 cm, 2450 g, and red to yellowish-gray. The histologic diagnosis was benign mucinous cystadenoma. The postoperative course was uneventful, and the patient remains free of recurrence at 7 months after surgery. To our knowledge, this is only the fifth reported case of pancreatic mucinous cystadenoma in association with pregnancy. This is the first reported case of a successful resection of such a tumor after delivery.
