ABSTRACT
Serous cystic neoplasm (SCN) of the pancreas is considered a benign tumor with almost no malignant potential. Most surgeons agree that asymptomatic SCN requires only regular observation. However, several complexities and interference with organ preservation during the operation, may develop when a huge symptomatic tumor is treated with surgery. So, the purpose of this study is to develop a potential management plan based on a literature review and by describing three recent cases of SCN of the pancreas. We suggest that SCNs be responded to with a timely and appropriate surgical intervention - before they require clinical attention.
