Contribution of endosonography in an uncommon case of pancreatic cysts.
[von hippel-lindau disease]
Here
we
present
the
case
of
a
35
-
year
-old
female
patient
with
long
standing
dyspepsia
and
imaging
studies
showing
the
presence
of
multiple
cysts
in
the
head
and
tail
of
the
pancreas
.
The
patient
underwent
endosonography
that
confirmed
the
presence
of
multiple
simple
cysts
throughout
the
entirety
of
the
pancreas
without
dilation
of
the
pancreatic
duct
.
The
majority
of
the
cysts
were
less
than
one
centimeter
in
size
,
and
the
largest
cyst
showed
a
honeycomb
appearance
.
Cytology
of
aspirates
from
the
two
largest
cysts
was
compatible
with
benign
pancreatic
cysts
.
Endosonography
also
revealed
cysts
within
the
left
kidney
and
spleen
.
Genetic
testing
confirmed
Von
Hippel-
Lindau
disease
.
We
highlight
this
case
because
it
is
unusual
for
Von
Hippel-
Lindau
disease
,
a
rare
clinical
entity
,
to
present
solely
with
cysts
in
the
absence
of
more
common
manifestations
,
such
as
hemangioblastomas
in
the
central
nervous
system
and
malignancy
.
