Lymphoepithelial Cyst of the Pancreas: Serum Markers do not Help

We report a case of lymphoepithelial cyst of the pancreas with non-specific elevation of CA 19.9 and CEA. Pre-operative diagnosis by conventional means proved elusive, and only surgical resection and histopathology revealed the diagnosis. The origin and diagnosis are discussed by literature review.
