The aim of this study was to introduce a patient with mucinous nonneoplastic cyst (MNNC) at an unusual age. MNNCs of the pancreas are uncommon primary tumors, which affect middle-aged women in their fifth decade of life and have significant malignant potential. Therefore, it is important to accurately diagnose and remove them. This case is a 28-year-old woman patient who presented with a pain in the right and upper abdomen from 3 months ago and worsened at night. A cystic lesion was observed near the upper bridge of the left kidney in abdominal ultrasonography. Contrast-enhanced abdominal computed tomography (CT) scan showed a cystic lesion in the trunk and umbilical cord of the pancreas. The patient underwent surgery and the mass was removed and the MNNC was diagnosed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
