A case of 67 years old man with asymptomatic cyst in the head of pancreas is presented. The pancreatic cyst was found incidentally in

2007 but no further exploration was performed. The lesion was found again 2011 and subsequent detailed examination revealed branch

duct intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm, histologically borderline tumour. The case report emphasizes a necessity of examination

and follow-up of all pancreatic cystic lesions, even they are asymptomatic.

Keywords: pancreatic cyst, intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm
