Description

A 47-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital because of sudden upper abdominal pain. CT scan demonstrated a cystic lesion of the pancreatic body and ascites. Under the diagnosis of acute peritonitis due to the rupture of the cystic neoplasm of the pancreas, distal pancreatectomy was performed. Histological examination revealed mucinous cystadenoma of the pancreas with ovarian-type stroma. The patient was alive without any evidence of recurrence 5 years after the operation. This is one of several case reports of acute abdomen due to rupture of mucinous cystic neoplasm, the common symptoms of which are abdominal mass and dull pain.<br>
