Journal Title: MGM JOURNAL OF MEDICAL SCIENCES - Year 2018, Vol 5, Issue 1
Abstract
Pancreatic dermoid cyst is a rare clinical entity. We report the case of a 26-year-old female who presented with epigastric pain and weight loss for 1 month duration. Ultrasonography and computed tomography (CT) showed large solid cystic mass in the tail of pancreas. At surgery, the entire mass was excised. Histopathologic report revealed it to be a dermoid cyst.
