Abstract
Serous cystic tumors of the pancreas are unique among pancreatic cystic neo plasms in that they are almost always cytologically monomorphous and biolog ically benign. The diagnostic challenge for the surgical pathologist is to recognize the spectrum of architectural variation that may read to misdiagn osis, either preoperatively or postoperatively, and the additional lesions and conditions with which serous tumors may be associated.
