| Abstract |
|
Cystic lesions of the pancreas have been detected more frequently than before because of the development of imaging technologies. Pancreas cysts can be divided into neoplastic or non-neoplastic and neoplastic cyst can be categorized as potentially malignant or non-malignant. Cystic lesion that contains mucinous material has malignant potential. Some factors that can predict the presence of malignant tissue has been identified. Serous neoplasm, congenital cysts and pseudocyst do not have malignant potential. Solid pseudopapillary tumor or endocrine tumor can undergo cystic degeneration and also have malignant potential of low level. (Korean J Med 78:273-278, 2010) |
