Abstract:
Cystic neoplasms of the pancreas represent the best example of a malignant precursor in the pancreas. There are many parallels between pancreatic cystic neoplasms and the colon polyp-cancer sequence. In the past, cystic neoplasms of the pancreas were thought to be relatively rare, composing less than 10% of cancers of the pancreas. With the greater use of cross-sectional imaging, an increasing number of these neoplasms are being seen.
