An unusual presentation of pancreatic serous cystadenoma with acute hemorrhage.
Pancreatic serous cystadenomas are benign cystic lesions without complication risks. They can be discovered after investigations for upper abdominal discomfort because of mass effect or incidentally. In rare cases they are detected because of biliary obstruction. Hemorrhagic complication is very unusual.
