N2 - Serous cystadenomas represent 16% of pancreatic serous neoplasms. It can be subdivided into 4 variants: polycystic, oligocystic, honeycomb and solid. Such tumors rarely turn malignant. Most are asymptomatic at the time of diagnosis, but symptomatic patients mainly suffer from abdominal pain and pancreaticobiliary symptoms. Due to the usually benign status, no follow-up or surgery is usually required. This case report concerns a histologically proven serous cystadenoma in an 84-year elderly woman. Due to benign status, no follow-up was required. Thirteen years later she was diagnosed with malignant transformation on computed tomography.
