Malignant Pancreatic Serous Cystic Neoplasm: A Case of Local Recurrence and Liver Metastasis that Occurred During Follow-Up

Abstract

Serous cystic neoplasms of the pancreas are usually benign, with a low malignant potential. Herein, we report a case of malignant serous cystic neoplasm of the pancreas treated with subtotal pancreatectomy, which progressed to local recurrence and metachronous hepatic metastasis during the regular follow-up period.
