Pancreas is a rare tumor ,with a striking prelidiction for elderly
females and has a unique morphology.Classically, the tumor
shows innumerable cysts around a stellate scar.
Histopathological examination shows closely placed small cysts
lined by glycogen rich cuboidal epithelium. In view of its
excellent prognostic outcome, this tumor needs to be accurately
diagnosed. This report documents a case of SMCA occurring in
a 75year-old male.
