Pancreatic Lymphoepithelial Cysts (PLECs) are very rare and benign lesions of the pancreas. They are commonly detected incidentally dur ing radiological examinations. Proper diagnosis of Pancreatic Cystic Lesions (PCLs) is very important, and physicians should be aware of the different types of cystic lesions and their characteristics before the treatment choice. However, preoperative diagnosis of PLECs, which have no malignant potential and rarely symptomatic or cause com plication, are difficult due to nonspecific imaging and the presence of cytological features that overlap with other PCLs. Although many methods are used to avoid unnecessary surgery, most cases are diag nosed after surgery. We report a very rare case of PLEC with coexisting uroepithelial carcinoma.
