Journal Title: Journal of Krishna Institute of Medical Sciences University - Year 2014, Vol 3, Issue 2
Abstract
Serous Microcystic Adenoma of Pancreas (SMCA) is rare tumor of exocrine pancreas. It has striking predilection for elderly women and consists of small cysts surrounding central stellate scar. Histologically cysts are lined by glycogen rich cuboidal epithelium. In view of its benign nature and excellent prognosis this tumor needs to be accurately diagnosed. This report documents two cases of SMCA occurring in 45 and 36 years old females.
