Lymphoepithelial cyst of pancreas: a case report

BACKGROUND: Lymphoepithelial cyst of the pancreas is a rare lesion of undetermined pathogenesis that had been documented almost exclusively in males. The literature on this entity is limited to reports of single or a small number of cases, METHODS: The case we described herein was compared with a total of 36 cases reported elsewhere. RESULTS: The 37 cases of lymphoepithelial cyst of the pancreas including our case were reviewed, Lymphoepithelial cysts have uniform and distinctive clinicopathologic features.
