From: Lymphoepithelial Cysts of the Pancreas: a Report of 12 Cases and a Review of the Literature
The lymphoid tissue in LECs often form a distinct band and creates the impression of a lymph node. In many cases, the lesion is surrounded by adipose tissue and appears to be peripancreatic (rather than intrapancreatic); however, careful examination often discloses pancreatic ducts or islets in this adipose tissue, indicating that it is atrophic pancreas.
