Two cases of mucinoics cystadenocarcinorna of the pancreas are described in which the diagnosis was made from the material obtained by a computed tomography-guided jine-needle aspiration cytology examination. It is strongly felt that aspiration cytology, when performed under imaging guidance, is sen
