ABSTRACT
The pancreatic cystic lesions are known to be incidentally found up to 10-15% of patients undergoing cross-sectional imaging. And the prevalence of mucinous cystic neoplasm which has malignant potential is known to be up to 25% of all pancreatic cystic neoplasm in South Korea. The symptoms included abdominal pain, palpable mass, weight loss, loss of appetite, jaundice, asymptomatic and etc. However, spontaneous rupture of pancreatic mucinous cystadenocarcinoma (MCAC) is an extremely rare complication. Here we report a case of spontaneous rupture of pancreatic MCAC in a 72-year-old male with review of the literature. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first ruptured case of pancreatic MCAC in male patient.
