title: [Mucinous ductal ectasia. Apropos of 2 cases].
abstract: Mucinous ectasia of the pancreas ducts is a recently described cystic lesion which usually occurs in acute pancreatitis. Endoscopic retrograde pancreatography provides diagnosis. Mucinous ductal ectasia is considered to be a precancerous lesion. Surgical exeresis is recommended. Our two cases emphasize the difficulties encountered for differential diagnosis with other cystic lesions of the pancreas.
