New Guidelines on Management of Cystic Lesions of the Pancreas

New Guidelines on Management of Cystic Lesions of the Pancreas While lesion morphology on EUS can suggest a particular type of cystic lesion of the pancreas, these data alone are not enough to make a definitive diagnosis. Multiple compartments of less than 3 mm within a cystic lesion suggest a serous cystadenoma. A cystic lesion without septations or solid elements can be a pseudocyst. Protruding lesions of more than 4 mm may represent an IPMN.
