[Serous oligocystic adenoma of the pancreas]. / Adenoma seroso oligoquístico del páncreas.

Serous oligocystic or macrocystic adenoma of the pancreas is a very uncommon morphological variant of what was classically termed microcystic adenoma of the pancreas. This is a benign neoplasm; however, its radiological appearance mimicks that of potentially malignant mucinous neoplasms of the pancreas. Therefore, radiologists need to be familiar with this entity to ensure the most appropriate therapeutic management and help to avoid unnecessary surgery.
