Malignant cystic tumor of the pancreas at a young age

This paper presents a clinical case of treating a 22-year-old female patient with a malignant cystic tumor of the pancreas. At the initial consultation, due to her age, no oncological history, small size of the tumor, no cancerous growth according to biopsy data, and no clinical manifestations, dynamic observation was recommended. In dynamics, after 6 months, an increase in the size of the pancreatic tumor was detected. After a comprehensive additional examination, indications for surgery were established and laparoscopic spleen-preserving distal resection of the pancreas according to the Warshaw type was performed. Postoperative pathohistological examination: mucinous cystic tumor of the pancreas with high-grade microfoci of epithelial dysplasia (Ca in situ). It is concluded that an onco-guarded approach to cystic tumors of the pancreas should be used, including in young people.
