Abstract

We report a case of cystadenocarcinoma occurring in a pregnant woman. After child birth, a subtotal pancreatectomy was performed, without rupture of the cyst. The patient is asymptomatic, 24 months after surgery. The presentation of cystadenocarcinoma in pregnancy has been reported in another single case. The possibility of hormonal dependence is discussed.
