Cystic neoplasm of pancreas ,a unique entity is gaining its importance due to increased incidence of it's diagnosis .The increased frequency of the diagnosis can be attributed to the heightened usage of the cross sectional imaging such as Computed Tomography ( CT ) and Magnetic Resonance Imaging ( MRI ) .However elucidating the malignant potential of those cysts in a pre operative imaging still remains a challenge and thus a line of demarcation between surveillance and surgery is still undetermined.The differentiation between a serous and mucinous cyst is possible to a certain extent with cross sectional imaging. Mucinous cystic neoplasm carries a high malignant potential compared to the serous neoplasms and hence augmented tissue sampling is required to ascertain malignant potential.
