    Prompt identification of cyst with stigmata of malignant transformation, could be the key for pancreatic cancer prevention. As well, detection of benign features could stop worthless follow-up and reassure patients.

    We report the case of a 63-yo man, in follow-up for a pancreatic cyst since 2002, suspected for branch-duct IPMN, without worrisome features. Due to an increase in size, he underwent an EUS-FNA, confirming an unilocular pancreatic tail cyst, with mild wall thickening. During EUS, we evaluated CH-EUS enhancement and sampled the cyst wall with a through-the-needle micro-forceps, with the surprising histological result of a rare cystic neuroendocrine tumor.
