RESUMO

The pathological findings in 14 cases of cystadenoma and three cases of cystadenocarcinoma of the pancreas have been studied in relation to the clinical effects. All the patients were women, and their ages ranged from 13 to 90 years. Four tumours measuring 2 to 4 cm. in diameter had not caused symptoms or signs. Tumours from 7 to 12 cm. in diameter had been felt in the upper abdomen and half the patients with such tumours had complained of pain. In two cases with large tumours there was severe bleeding into the alimentary canal.
