Abstract

Several clinically significant cystic diseases and syndromes are known to afflict the pancreas. They are often incidentally encountered in radiologic studies obtained for unrelated indications. Cystic pancreatic lesions are encountered in about 2.6% of abdominal multidetector CT studies and in about 20% of MRI studies.1 The imaging findings of these cystic lesions and syndromes often appear overwhelming to inexperienced radiologists, including radiologists in training, and may result in misdiagnosis. We review the CT and MRI appearance of various cystic and syndrome-related disorders of the pancreas.
