Abstract

Mucinous cystadenocarcinoma of the pancreas represents around 6-36% of mucinous cystic neoplasm. The lesions are usually found in the body and tail of the pancreas and are generally solitary with a size range of 6-36 cm. We present a clinical case of a 63 years old patient with abdominal pain and weight loss. We used radiographic imaging studies.
It was treated with surgery by distal pancreatectomy with splenectomy and transverse colectomy.

Patient was not post operative complications.
