Abstract
Mucinous cystic neoplasms (MCNs) of the pancreas are rare, predominantly affecting women, and carry a risk of alignant transformation. We report the case of a 34-year-old woman with a known history of generalized anxiety disorder, diagnosed with a large mucinous pancreatic cystic mass. Radiological findings were suggestive of a mucinous cystadenoma located in the body and tail of the pancreas. She underwent a distal pancreatectomy with splenectomy, and postoperative outcomes were uneventful. This case underscores the importance of early diagnosis, appropriate surgical intervention, and multidisciplinary care, especially in patients with psychiatric comorbidities.
