  • Title: Diagnosis and Management of Pancreatic Cystic Neoplasms.
    Author: Kim TS, Fernandez-del Castillo C.
    Journal: Hematol Oncol Clin North Am; 2015 Aug; 29(4):655-74. PubMed ID: 26226903.
    Abstract:
    Incidentally discovered pancreatic cystic lesions are increasingly common, affecting up to 10% to 15% of patients undergoing cross-sectional imaging. Although some pancreatic cystic neoplasms harbor invasive malignancy or the potential to progress over time, a majority are benign and can be observed safely. Accurate diagnosis is key to appropriate management. Diagnosis requires a multidisciplinary and multimodal approach. This review discusses each type of pancreatic cystic neoplasm and the current data on diagnosis and treatment.
