[Pancreatic cystadenocarcinoma revealed by an acute pancreatitis and exploratory surgery. A rare case report].
Cystadenocarcinoma of the pancreas is a rare malignant tumor. It may appear as a typical pseudocyst on ultrasonography or CT scan. It is exceptionally revealed by an acute pancreatitis. Authors report a new case of cystadenocarcinoma of pancreas misinterpreted as pancreatic pseudocyst complicating acute pancreatitis. The diagnosis was established at laparotomy by discovering a locally advanced tumor of pancreatic tail with hepatic and peritoneal carcinosis metastasis.
