Hi
It looks like cyst between stomach and pancreas.
Water tumour is cyst.They are not cancers.
Pancreas is the commonest site for cysts.
True cysts can be removed totally.
Pseudocyst is a swelling where in a communication will be created between stomach and pancreas.
if you have any doubt about the water tumour which they removed,it is better to send it for histopathological examination(Biopsy) which gives accurate diagnosis.
Wish her good health
