A 58-year-old woman was successfully treated and cured with a Benign lesion of the pancreas at SRM Medical College Hospital and Research Centre (SRM MCHRC) in Kattankulathur.
Radha (name changed) came to SRM MCHRC with complaints of abdominal pain for two weeks. She had no other symptoms. However, she was Diabetic and was on treatment for the same for the last two years.
Evaluations such as MRCP, CT Abdomen and Endoscopic Ultrasound were performed on her and she was diagnosed having a cystic lesion of the pancreas. She underwent surgery recently, and a large cyst of 10x11x7 cm was noted over the distal aspect of the pancreas.
Histopathological examination of the excised mass revealed a mucinous cystadenoma of the pancreas. This patient had a benign tumour which was diagnosed promptly early and removed successfully. Her quality of life post-procedure remains good, , and she continues treatment for her diabetes alone.
