Pancreatic Cystic Tumors

  • Chapter

  • 1287 Accesses

Abstract

Pancreatic cystic tumors represent a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge. These lesions are being discovered incidentally because multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) is being used more often for the diagnosis of abdominal complaints. Over the past decade, there has been a tenfold increased incidence of pancreatic cystic tumors due to increased use of CT and endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) [1]. There is an increased number of resected cystic lesions because more patients with pancreatic cystic lesions are being referred to hepatopancreatobiliary (HPB) surgeons [1, 2].
