INTRODUCTION: @entity2696 are rare, @entity5 . An intra-abdominal location of these lesions is rarer still and there are only a few reports describing laparoscopic resection for @entity12294 , especially in @entity5 that mimic @entity788 . CASE PRESENTATION: We present the case of an asymptomatic 30-year-old Japanese @entity1 in whom a @entity5 was found incidentally in close approximation to the pancreas. Because the @entity5 was located in the retroperitoneal space and the body of the pancreas was compressed, we were unable to distinguish a @entity3609 from @entity788 . We started the procedure laparoscopically with five ports. The @entity5 was in fact separated from the pancreas and was dissected free from the body of the pancreas using scissors and laparoscopic coagulating shears. The left gastric vessels, which were compressed by the @entity5 , were preserved. As we realized that the @entity5 was connected to the retroperitoneal lymphatic tissue, we completed the procedure by performing a cystectomy without @entity397 . The specimen was extracted using a plastic bag. Our @entity1 was discharged on postoperative day 7 without any complications. There is no evidence of recurrence during a >2-year observation period. CONCLUSIONS: In addition to the therapeutic significance in differentiating between a @entity3609 in close approximation to the body of the pancreas and a @entity788 , the laparoscopic approach is feasible and effective.
