Core Tip This article provides a review of the available literature on extremely rare lymphoepithelial cysts (LEC) of the pancreas, accompanied by reporting management of a patient with such a lesion with sebaceous glands. Pancreatic LECs with sebaceous differentiation are benign and lack malignant potential, but they mimic mucinous cystic lesions radiologically and cytologically, often leading to unnecessary surgery. Thorough pathological examination of the resected specimen is of great importance, as the mechanism of pancreatic LECs in not fully understood. Thus, every reported case may contribute to better understanding of this rare disease.
