Overview

This narrative review summarizes differential diagnosis and management of pancreatic cystic neoplasms, indicating guidelines for IPMN and surgical options.

Key Points

  • Pancreatic cysts, mostly IPMN, show a prevalence of 16% globally, with most cysts being non-malignant.
  • Endosonography may be required when the diagnosis is unclear, while MRI is essential for monitoring.
  • Management algorithms highlight surgical resection for IPMN with high-grade dysplasia due to cancer risk.
  • Surgical techniques are evolving toward minimally invasive approaches to reduce complications from pancreatic resection.
