title: Congenital true pancreatic cyst detected prenatally in neonate: a case report.
abstract: True congenital epithelium-lined cysts of the pancreas are rare, and the prenatal diagnosis of a true pancreatic cyst has been reported only rarely. In this article, the authors report a 3-day-old girl with histologically proven true pancreatic cyst that was detected by prenatal ultrasonography. The cystic mass was located in the left upper side of the abdomen, and total cystectomy was performed without complication.
