Cystic carcinoid tumor of the pancreas diagnosed by endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine needle aspiration of the cystic wall: an unusual presentation and diagnosis
The preoperative diagnosis of cystic pancreatic carcinoid tumor is important due to their malignant potential and possibility of ressection.()
Computed tomography (CT) and EUS may not help making diagnosis, since the radiological aspect is often interpreted as a pancreatic mucinous cystadenoma, such as in this report.
