The paper is a case report describing an extragenital pancreatic endometriosis cyst in a patient who presented with acute epigastric pain radiating to the back, initially leading to a diagnosis of acute pancreatitis based on elevated amylase and lipase and mild inflammatory markers. Imaging showed a 5×4 cm cyst at the pancreatic body–tail transition, with CT suggesting a likely non-malignant dysontogenetic cyst; endosonographic cyst aspiration yielded neutrophil-rich, hemorrhagic material interpreted as most consistent with an abscess or inflammatory pseudocyst, and rising tumor markers (CEA, CA 19–9) prompted diagnostic laparotomy with left pancreatectomy, splenectomy, and lymphadenectomy. Histology confirmed an endometriosis cyst with no evidence of malignancy, and a gynecological follow-up program was used for recurrence prophylaxis. As a single case report, it is limited in generalizability. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — specifically pancreatic extragenital endometriosis mimicking pancreatitis and an inflammatory cyst.
