AB  - Serous cystic neoplasms (SCNs) of the pancreas are slow-growing benign tumors. 
      They are mostly monitored without surgical management. Solid SCN is rare and 
      differentiating it from hypervascular tumors of the pancreas using preoperative 
      imaging may be difficult. A 69-year-old woman was referred to our department for 
      surgical treatment of an enlarged pancreatic tail tumor with a size of 22mm based 
      on the abdominal computed tomography (CT). At the age of 60, she underwent 
      thyroidectomy for papillary thyroid carcinoma and mastectomy for breast cancer. 
      Initially, consecutive annual CT examinations did not show signs of recurrence. 
      However, after 9 years, a hypervascular pancreatic tumor was detected and assumed 
      to be either a neuroendocrine tumor or metastasis. The patient underwent distal 
      pancreatectomy, and the resected specimen was histopathologically diagnosed as 
      solid SCN of the pancreas. Before being referred for pancreatic resection, this 
      patient had been followed up with serial annual CT examinations for over 9 years 
      after a previous malignant disease. Retrospectively, the abdominal CT scans 
      showed that the pancreatic tumor already existed 5 years ago and had gradually 
      increased in size thereafter. In this case report, we focused on the 
      characteristics of solid SCN to address the difficulty in diagnosing this rare 
      malignancy.
