Integrating Molecular Analysis into the Pathologic Evaluation of Pancreatic Cysts - 29/08/22
, Aatur D. Singhi, MD, PhDAbstract |
The development of cross-sectional imaging techniques has enhanced the detection of pancreatic cystic lesions (PCLs). PCLs are found in approximately 2% of the general population, often as incidentally detected lesions on computed tomography or MRI during the evaluation of other medical conditions. Broadly, PCLs are classified as mucinous or nonmucinous. Mucinous PCLs include mucinous cystic neoplasms and intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms. Nonmucinous PCLs include pseudocysts, serous cystadenomas, solid pseudopapillary neoplasms, and cystic pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors, as well as cystic acinar cell carcinoma, cystic degeneration of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma, lymphoepithelial cyst, and others.
