Lymphoepithelial cyst of the pancreas represents an extremely rare and benign entity of undetermined pathogenesis. This lesion must be taken into consideration in the differential diagnosis of pancreatic cystic lesions. A case of resected lymphoepithelial cyst of pancreas in 59-year-old man with an attack of acute pancreatitis in anamnesis is reported. The postoperative period was uneventful, and the histolopathological examination revealed the structures of lymphoepithelial cyst. The aim of this report is to describe the clinical and pathological features of this unusual true cyst of the pancreas.

Key words:
benign lymphoepithelial cyst – pancreas – pseudocyst
