Abstract
Cystic neoplasms of the pancreas are a particular category of pancreatic tumor. They are commonly classified into serous types, mucinous types, and intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms (IPMNs). The serous types account for 35% of cystic neoplasms and 1–2% of all neoplasms of the exocrine pancreas [1]. The mucinous types account for 1% of all exocrine pancreatic tumors and 27% of cystic neoplasms of the pancreas (20.1% cystadenoma and 7.0% cystadenocarcinoma) [2]. Then there are the IPMNs, which account for 0.5–9.8% of all tumors of the pancreatic parenchyma [3, 4].
