Abstract
Serous cystic neoplasms of the pancreas are uncommon lesions and are generally considered benign. Conservative management is generally advised unless it
is symptomatic, rapidly enlarge mass, or uncertain diagnosis. Malignant serous cystadenocarcinoma has been occasionally reported in the literature. However, controversy remains for the definition, diagnosis, and management of the malignant counterpart. Additional proposal for the so-called locally invasive serous cystic neoplasms also add more confusion to the rare entity.
