The cut sections showed a diffusely indurated and atrophic pancreatic parenchyma with a 2cm x 1cm simple cyst located 2 cm from the closest transection margin. The cyst nature was confirmed by histopathologic examination as a retention cyst lined by a low cuboidal epithelium with associated chronic pancreatitis, along with the presence of numerous non-caseating granulomas consistent with sarcoidosis (Fig. 2, Fig. 3).
