In order to analyze the clinical, pathological, and surgical characteristics of pancreatic mucinous cystic neoplasm (MCN), an analysis of the patients from the Pancreas, Spleen, and Retroperitoneal Surgery Service of the Guillermo Almenara Irigoyen National Hospital in Lima, Peru, was performed from January 2009 to October 2018. The presence of ovarian stroma was used as a diagnostic criterion for MCN. From ten patients with an average age of 47.8 years, nine were women; the lesions were located in the distal pancreas, and the average tumor size was 88.6 mm. All patients underwent a distal pancreatectomy, three of which were laparoscopic; there were no reoperations or deaths; two patients had associated invasive carcinoma. In conclusion, the frequency of MCN is higher in middle-aged women, being the location in the distal pancreas and the percentage of malignancy is low. Laparoscopic surgery is a disease management option. Con el objetivo de analizar las características clínico, patológicas y quirúrgicas de la Neoplasia Quística Mucinosa de páncreas (NQM), se realizó un análisis de los pacientes del servicio de Cirugía de Páncreas, Bazo y Retroperitoneo del Hospital Nacional Guillermo Almenara Irigoyen en Lima, Perú desde enero del 2009 hasta octubre del 2018. La presencia del estroma ovárico se usó como criterio diagnóstico de NQM. De diez pacientes con edad promedio de 47,8 años, nueve fueron mujeres, las lesiones estuvieron localizadas en el páncreas distal, el tamaño tumoral promedio fue de 88,6 mm. En todos los pacientes se realizó una pancreatectomía distal siendo tres laparoscópicas, no hubo reoperaciones ni fallecidos, dos pacientes tuvieron carcinoma invasor asociado. En conclusión, la presentación de NQM es mayor en mujeres de edad media siendo la localización en el páncreas distal y el porcentaje de malignidad bajo. La cirugía laparoscópica es una alternativa de manejo.
