Sa1417 HISTOLOGICAL DIAGNOSIS OF PANCREATIC SEROUS CYSTADENOMAS USING A 22G CORE BIOPSY NEEDLE: A CASE SERIES

Pancreatic serous cystadenomas or pancreatic cystic serous neoplasms (SCN) are benign pancreatic cystic neoplasms with rare malignant potential. These account for 1-2% of all pancreatic masses. SCNs will often have a cystic or honeycomb appearance on CT scan and the pathognomonic central scar is only seen in 20% of the lesions. In the past, the mainstay of diagnosing SCN has been via endoscopy ultrasound (EUS) with fine needle aspiration (FNA) to assess fluid for CEA levels and also for cytological analysis.
