-
A rare epithelial tumor of the pancreas with histological characteristics of columnar, mucin-producing epithelium associated with ovarian-type subepithelial stroma, which does not communicate with the pancreatic ductal system, most frequently localized to the body or tail of the pancreas. Clinically, small tumors (less than 3 centimeters) are usually asymptomatic while large tumors typically present obstructive jaundice, a palpable abdominal mass, and may associate portal hypertension, hemobilia and diabetes mellitus.
