DOMINGUEZ-SANCHEZ, Iván et al. Central pancreatectomy for the treatment of a benign pancreatic lesion: case report and literature review. Rev. esp. enferm. dig. [online]. 2017, vol.109, n.3, pp.225-228. ISSN 1130-0108.  https://dx.doi.org/10.17235/reed.2017.4291/2016.

We present the case of a 45 year old female patient with an incidental diagnosis of a cystic pancreatic lesion corresponding to a serous cystadenoma of 14 mm. During a 5-year follow-up (CT and MRT) the lesion tripled in size and a surgical intervention was decided upon. The lesion was thought to have a benign pathology and, in an attempt to preserve the spleen and a major portion of pancreatic tissue, a central pancreatectomy with a diversion of the remaining distal pancreas was carried out. The authors reviewed national and international publications.

Keywords : Central pancreatectomy; Mesopancreatectomy; Benign pancreatic lesion.
