Successful laparoscopic resection for giant mature cystic teratoma of the pancreas: a case report and surgical refinements.

Background: Mature cystic teratomas or dermoid cysts of the pancreas complicate surgical approaches because of their anatomical position and ever-growing size. Herein, we report a case of a giant mature cystic teratoma of the pancreas that was successfully resected via complete laparoscopic distal pancreatectomy (LDP).

Case Presentation: A 39-year-old female patient was referred to our hospital for the evaluation of a pancreatic tumor.
