Isolated polycystic disease of the pancreas is an extremely rare condition, usually found incidentally at imaging on asymptomatic patients. Cystic lesions of the pancreas are most oftenly seen in association with polycystic kidney disease and Von Hippel Lindau syndrome. Cross-sectional imaging and cystic fluid analysis play an important role in differentiating these congenital cysts from neoplastic cysts and pancreatic pseudocysts. The indications for surgery remain rare due to the very long asymptomatic evolution. The monitoring of these lesions generally shows the stability of most cysts. We report the case of a 33 years old patient who presented a polycystic disease of the pancreas incidentally discovered in imaging.
