Pancreatic cystic lesion (PCL) is a relatively low incidence of pancreatic disease. No clinical symptoms of PCL prevalence rate is 2.4% ~ 13.5% and has a tendency to increase with the increase of age. With the development of modern imaging technology and the improvement of people health consciousness, there has been a dramatic increase in the prevalence of PCL. PCLs involving a wide range of pathology can range from obviously benign to borderline malignant potential lesions to overt malignancy. Pancreatic cystadenocarcinoma belongs to one of the malignant tumor of PCLs, may be malignant from pancreatic cystadenoma, and it is clinically rare, accounting for only 1% of the malignant tumors of the pancreas. Preoperative diagnosis is difficult of the disease, it mostly need to postoperative pathological diagnosis. The main symptoms of pancreatic cystadenocarcinoma are dull pain or low back pain in the upper and middle abdomen, and mass in the upper abdomen. Abdominal pain is not intense, some patients only for the feeling of fullness discomfort. Other symptoms may include loss of appetite, nausea, indigestion, weight loss, jaundice, and in a few patients, gastrointestinal bleeding. In this paper, we report a rare case of pancreatic cystadenocarcinoma with a huge cystic lesion that grows rapidly in a short period of time in pregnant women, which preoperative diagnosis is considered pancreatic cystadenoma in the preoperative. Complete resection was performed and histological examination confirmed the diagnosis of pancreatic cystadenocarcinoma.
