Fig. 3. Complete remission of mucinous cystic neoplasm after endoscopic ultrasound guided ablation. (A) Computed tomography showing a solitary 3.6 cm cystic lesion at the body of the pancreas. (B) Endoscopic ultrasound revealing a uniloculated cyst without communication to the pancreatic duct. Clinically, it is consistent with mucinous cystic neoplasm. Ablation was performed with ethanol lavage followed by paclitaxel injection. (C) Follow-up computed tomography 1 year later showing markedly shrinkage of the cystic lesion (1.2 cm) with peripheral calcification. (D) Follow-up computed tomography 3 years later showing further reduction in the size of the residual cyst, measuring < 1 cm. New lesions are not evident.
