Differentiating Pancreatic Cystic Lesions
Pancreatic cystic lesions (PCLs) may represent malignant or premalignant neoplasms and require diagnostic evaluation. Patient’s demographics and clinical presentation should be considered when diagnosing PCLs. Radiologically, location, ductal relation, external contour, wall, and septal enhancement give important clues for each type of lesion. Imaging features that suggest a high malignancy ris...

• Objective: To review the diagnosis and management of pancreatic cystic lesions. • Methods: Narrative review of the literature. • Results: Pancreatic cystic lesions are clinically relevant as some are precursor lesions to pancreatic adenocarcinoma. Mucinous cystic neoplasms and intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms are 2 commonly encountered pre-cancerous pancreatic cysts. Many cysts are id...
متن کاملDifferential diagnosis of pancreatic cystic masses with the quantitative analysis of spectral CT imaging: Initial results
Background: To retrospectively evaluate whether quantitative information derived from spectral imaging can improve the differential diagnosis of pancreatic cystic masses including pancreatic solid pseudopapillary epithelial neoplasms (SPENs), mucin- producing cysts and pseudocysts. Materials and Methods: From June 2015 to October 2017, 56 patients (22 pseudocysts, 18 mucin-producing cysts and 1...
متن کاملRadiology Rounds - Cystic Pancreatic Lesions
As cross-sectional imaging has become more common, there has been a marked increase in the incidental detection of cystic pancreatic lesions. It is estimated that more than a third of these are found in asymptomatic patients. Although knowledge of the natural history of cystic lesions is incomplete at this time, it is known that some cystic pancreatic lesions, including pseudocysts and serous c...
متن کاملEvaluation and Management of Pancreatic Cystic Lesions
INTRODUCTION Pancreatic cysts are now being encountered by primary and specialty care physicians with ever increasing frequency due to the widespread use of high quality cross-sectional imaging (1,2). The majority of these cystic lesions are incidental asymptomatic findings, and therefore can present both diagnostic and therapeutic dilemmas. The differential diagnosis of cystic pancreatic lesio...
