  • Title: Pancreatic Cystic Lesions: Imaging Techniques and Diagnostic Features.
    Author: Taya M, Hecht EM, Huang C, Lo GC.
    Journal: Gastrointest Endosc Clin N Am; 2023 Jul; 33(3):497-518. PubMed ID: 37245932.
    Abstract:
    The detection of incidental pancreatic cystic lesions has increased over time. It is crucial to separate benign from potentially malignant or malignant lesions to guide management and reduce morbidity and mortality. The key imaging features used to fully characterize cystic lesions are optimally assessed by contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging/magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography, with pancreas protocol computed tomography offering a complementary role. While some imaging features have high specificity for a particular diagnosis, overlapping imaging features between diagnoses may require further investigation with follow-up diagnostic imaging or tissue sampling.
