Abstract
Asolid cystic acinar cell tumor of the pancreas was found in 4 female patients. This particular form of benign pancreatic tumor is characteristically found in young women, often reaches a large size (2.5-10 cm), presents as a spherical mass in computed tomography or ultrasonography and does not show infiltrative growth or metastases. Tumors can be readily enucleated or resected. This type of tumor does not yet appear in the WHO classification of epithelial pancreatic tumors. It probably arises from the acinar cells. Accurate differentiation from previously known highly malignant acinar tumors is absolutely necessary on account of the good prognosis of this type of tumor.
