Diagnosis, morphopathological profile and treatment of mucinous cystadenoma of the pancreas - a single center experience.

CONCLUSIONS: MCAs represent a rare pancreatic pathology with challenging diagnostic and therapeutic implications. Multi-detector computed tomography (MDCT) scan, endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)∕magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) are useful in the differential diagnosis with other pancreatic fluid collections and treatment. Oncological surgical resections are recommended. Histopathological examination establishes the final diagnosis. The most common postoperative complication is pancreatic fistula.
