Title: Mucinous Cystic Neoplasm of the Pancreas in a Male Patient Diagnosed by Endoscopic Ultrasonography
Abstract: Based on World Health Organization (WHO) criteria, mucinous cystic neoplasms (MCNs) of the pancreas are defined as cystic epithelial neoplasms composed of mucin producing colomnar epithelium and an ovariantype stroma (OS) [1]. Diagnosis and surgical resection of MCN are important because of its significant malignant potential. MCNs almost always occur in women. We present a case of MCN in a male patient diagnosed by endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) preoperatively.
