Abstract
Mucinous cystic neoplasm (MCN) of the pancreas is a rare neoplasm affecting the elderly women. They vary in their clinical presentation and biological behavior. Spontaneous rupture of MCN is very rare and only eight cases have been reported so far in the English literature. We report a case of a young woman presenting with abdominal pain following spontaneous contained rupture of MCN managed with surgical resection.
