[[Benign]] and borderline variants of this neoplasm are rare, and most cases are [[malignant]].

Typically, they are cystic neoplasms with polypoid masses that protrude into the cyst.


On [[microscope|microscopic]] [[pathology|pathological]] examination, they are composed of cells with clear [[cytoplasm]] (that contains [[glycogen]]) and ''hob nail'' cells (from which the glycogen has been secreted).
