Abstract
- 1.1. Papillary cystadenocarcinoma of the pancreas is a rare disease of which very few cases have been reported in detail in the literature.
- 2.2. The relative incidence of malignant to benign pancreatic cysts varies in different reports, but it is probably about 9 per cent.
- 3.3. In its early stages the symptoms of a malignant pancreatic cyst are the same as those of a benign one.
- 4.4. The chief early symptom of a benign or malignant pancreatic cyst is a slowly growing upper abdominal tumor, with or without digestive disturbances.
- 5.5. The only adequate treatment of a malignant pancreatic cyst is complete excision.
- 6.6. A detailed case report is presented of the successful complete extirpation of a papillary cystadenocarcinoma of the pancreas.
