title: [Solid and cystic pancreatic tumor].
abstract: The solid and cystic tumor of the pancreas (also called pancreatic cystic tumor of the pancreas) is a very rare tumor of the pancreas, which we meet mainly in younger women. The tumor was described for the first time in 1981 and since that time there were published more than 150 cases. It is a matter of a potentially malign tumor with low malign characteristics. By radical exstirpation most of the patients can be healed definitely. Long-term controls are yet necessary although recidives are rare (4-7%), but are described up to 10 years after the first treatment. Also singular cases with synchronous metastasis of the liver are mentioned. Except of abdominal volume increase the tumor gives little trouble. The diagnosis is placed with ultrasonography resp. with a computer-tomogram and ensured by needle cytology. The therapy consists in the radical exstirpation with resection of the left pancreas in case of location on the left side, with Whipple operation in case of localisation in the head of the pancreas.
