Papillary and Cystic Tumor of the Pancreas

1991 
Papillary and cystic tumor (PCT) of the pancreas is uncommon. The neoplasm typically presents in young female patients as a slowly growing mass that may attain large size. The tumor have a characteristically histologic appearance and low malignant potential. Surgical resection will be curative in almost all cases. PCT should be considered in the diferential diagnosis of any cystic pancreatic neoplasm especially in young women. We have the opportunity to present a case of an 18-year-old female with complete radiologic examinations including sonography, computed tomography and angiography.
