Abstract:
Cystic lesions of nonmucinous type can arise within the pancreas or can develop from adjacent structures and appear to involve the pancreas. In addition, some typically solid masses can become cystic or can present as cystic lesions. Nonmucinous cysts can be neoplastic, inflammatory, reactive, or congenital. The vast majority of neoplastic nonmucinous cysts are benign. Because of the difficulty in determining the neoplastic potential of a pancreatic cyst preoperatively, many non-neoplastic cysts are resected. This article reviews the surgical pathology of nonmucinous cysts.
