Lymphoepithelial cysts of the pancreas: CT and sonographic findings

Abdom Imaging. 1998 Mar-Apr;23(2):185-7. doi: 10.1007/s002619900318.

Abstract

Two cases of rare lymphoepithelial cyst (LEC) of the pancreas are presented. Although the histogenesis of this lesion is not known, it can be histologically differentiated from other pancreatic and retropancreatic cysts. The importance of its recognition is in the distinction from cystic neoplasm of the pancreas.
