title: Pancreatic cystadenoma of the spleen.
abstract: A cystadenoma of the pancreas within the spleen from pancreatic heterotopia is described. The tumor was located in the hilum of the spleen and completely separated from the normal pancreatic tail. This fact strongly supports the possibility that this tumor arose from pancreatic heterotopia.
