Abstract:

Congenital pancreatic cysts are very rare in newborns. The case of a neonatal congenital pancreatic cyst is reported. A male new-born with a true congenital pancreatic cyst was treated surgically. His medical chart was reviewed. A 3010 g male at 38+3weeks gestation was delivered via section. He had an antenatally detected intraabdominal cyst, which resembled a mesenteric cyst. Postpartum radiological evaluation via sonography revealed a pancreatic cyst. After the perinatal period, he underwent total surgical excision of the pancreatic cyst. Congenital pancreatic cyst is very rare in the paediatric age group and should be considered in the differential diagnosis of cystic lesions of the pancreas in infants and children. Complete surgical excision is the treatment of choice.
