“…Because of this, the outbreak of the disease in multiple organs is expected in patients with pancreatic lesions metastatic. [32][33][34][35] ( Figure 12). The resections are indicated for isolated metastases resectable in patients unable to tolerate a figure, pancreaticoduodenectomy and figure total.…”

“…High rate of recurrence after these atypical resections are observed. 34 The benefit of metastasectomy in terms of patient survival has been observed for metastases of renal cell carcinoma, while for other primary tumors the role of surgery is generally palliative.…”

“…A palpable mass in the hypochondrium or left upper quadrant can also occur. 34 The ultrasonography shows a cystic lesion typically hypoechoic or multicystic injury or anechoic in region of the pancreas. On the image of TC, cystic masses multiple well circumscribed are observed, juxtaposed or pediculate to the pancreas.…”

Contrast enhanced computed tomography demonstrated that the cysts had thin walls, without calcifications, pancreatic duct dilation or pancreatic parenchyma invasion. Endoscopic ultrasound with fine needle aspiration (EUS/FNA) confirmed the diagnosis of a lymphoepithelial cyst in 3 patients, one of whom was spared an operation and continues to do well after 6 years. Eleven patients had a resection: 3 pancreaticoduodenectomies, 7 distal pancreatectomies, and 1 enucleation. The median size of the cysts was 3 cm (range 2-20 cm). At a median follow-up of 57 mo no recurrences or other pancreas-related conditions occurred. CONCLUSION:Lymphoepithelial cysts and cystic lymphangiomas of the pancreas can be diagnosed with a combination of contrast-enhanced computed tomography scans and EUS/FNA. If the lesion is asymptomatic, an operation might be avoided. Key words: Lymphoepithelial cysts; Cystic lymphangiomas; Pancreas; Asymptomatic cysts; Benign cystic lesions of the pancreas Core tip: Lymphoepithelial cysts and cystic lymphangiomas of the pancreas represent rare, benign cystic lesions. The experience with their diagnosis and treatment is limited mostly to case reports. This report describes our experience with twelve lymphoepithelial cysts and cystic lymhangiomas of the pancreas, analyzing their clinicopathologic characteristics, the role of contrast enhanced computed tomography and endoscopic ultrasound with fine needle aspiration for their diagnosis with an emphasis on non-surgical management when a correct diagnosis can be established in an asymptomatic patient. METHODS:Retrospective review of clinicopathologic and imaging characteristics of patients diagnosed with lymphoepithelial cysts and cystic lymphangiomas of the pancreas at Massachusetts General Hospital. RESULTS: Twelve patients were identified between
