It is usually solitary and found in the body or tail of the pancreas, and may be associated with von Hippel–Lindau syndrome. [2] In contrast to some of the other cyst-forming tumors of the pancreas (such as the intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm and the pancreatic mucinous cystadenoma), serous cystic neoplasms are almost always entirely ...
Pancreatic intraductal papillary mucinous tumors (most common diagnosis - 52.6%) Pancreatic serous cystic tumors (20.6%) Pancreatic serous cystadenoma; Pancreatic serous cystadenocarcinoma; Pancreatic mucinous cystic tumors (13.4%) Pancreatic mucinous cystadenoma; Pancreatic mucinous cystadenocarcinoma
Surgery may follow neoadjuvant chemotherapy, which aims to shrink the tumor and increase the likelihood of complete resection. [8] Post-operative death and complications associated with pancreaticoduodenectomy have become less common, with rates of post-operative mortality falling from 30 to 10% in the 1980s to less than 5% in the 2000s.

A personalized mRNA vaccine may reduce the risks of pancreatic cancer returning after surgery, according to a preliminary study published Wednesday in the journal Nature. Pancreatic cancer is one ...
Pancreatic mucinous cystic neoplasm (MCN) is a type of cystic lesion that occurs in the pancreas. Amongst individuals undergoing surgical resection of a pancreatic cyst, about 23 percent were mucinous cystic neoplasms. These lesions are benign, though there is a high rate of progression to cancer. As such, surgery should be pursued when feasible.
Cystadenocarcinoma is a malignant form of a cystadenoma and is a cancer derived from glandular epithelium, in which cystic accumulations of retained secretions are formed. The neoplastic cells manifest varying degrees of anaplasia and invasiveness, and local extension and metastases occur.
Among common consequences of complete or nearly complete pancreatectomy are deficiencies of pancreatic endocrine or exocrine function requiring replacement of insulin or digestive enzymes. The patient immediately develops type 1 diabetes, with little hope for future type 1 diabetes treatments involving the restoration of endocrine function to a ...
Serous cystadenocarcinoma is a serous tumor in the cystadenocarcinoma grouping.. Most commonly, the primary site of serous cystadenocarcinoma is the ovary.Rare occurrence in the pancreas has been reported, although this is not typical, with the majority of microcystic pancreatic masses representing alternate disease processes such as the more benign serous cystadenoma.
