Abstract
dc.description.abstract
Cystic tumors of the pancreas are diagnosed with increasing frequency. The main problems associated with their dia gnosis a re to determine if they are benign of' malingnant and to decide their surgical excision or clinical follow up, since these tumors can be benign, potentially malignant or malignant. Imaging techniques such as CT scan, magnetic resonance and endoscopic ultrasonography are the key procedures that must be performed before adopting a final therapeutic decision. However, 10%of cystic lesionsare unable to be categorized even after thorough imaging evaluation. We analyze the characteristics of the more common cystic pancreatic lesionsand the means to recosnize them.
