Pankreas psödökisti pankreas kanseri tanısında gecikmeye neden olur mu? Olgu sunumu

Cystic neoplasms of the pancreas are rare and may be mistaken for pseudocysts by imaging studies. The preoperative diagnosis is difficult due to similarity to other cystic lesions of pancreas. However, endoscopic ultrasonography is a usefull complimentary imaging method for differentiation of a pancreatic cystic lesion. Occasionally, despite a complete evaluation of a cystic mass, the differential diagnose of a pancreatic cyst may not be determinated. In order to make a correct diagnosis before proceeding with the operation and to provide proper treatment, we also need to think of pancreatic neoplasms. Such pancreatic pseudocysts may cause a delay in the diagnose and treatment of a pancreatic neoplasm. We report a new case of cystadenocarcinoma of pancreas diagnosed in the operation, misinterpreted as pancreatic pseudocyst preoperatively.
