SEROUS CYSTADENOMA OF PANCREAS WITH STROMAL AMYLOID DEPOSITS, VERY RARE ENTITY
Dr. Shreedevi Bobati*
ABSTRACT
Serous cystadenoma (SCA) of pancreas is a rare tumour and unique for its benign nature with little malignant potential. Classically the tumor is riddled with innumerable small cysts around a stellate scar. The quintessential histological features are closely placed small cysts lined by glycogen rich cuboidal epithelium. In view of its excellent prognostic outcome, this tumor needs to be accurately diagnosed. Very rarely the tumor is associated with amyloid material. This report documents a case of SCA with stromal amyloid deposits occurring in a 72-year-old female, SCA with amyloid deposits has been reported in only one of the literature.
