Abstract
Pancreatic cystic lesions are usually an incidental finding when performing an imaging study for other reasons. The origin of these cysts varies and, depending on their origin, they can be benign or potentially malignant. However, differentiating between the two is not always easy. Several tools are available to try to identify the type of cyst—endoscopic ultrasound; magnetic resonance imaging; and serological, cystic, and histological biomarkers—but not all of them have optimal diagnostic power. When determining follow-up, whether the patient has an indication for surgery must always be taken into account. If so, various scientific societies have established strategies for the follow-up and management of these lesions according to the presence of signs of malignancy risk.
