Abstract

Since the development of high resolution thin-section imaging with multidetector computed tomography (CT), cystic lesions are being increasingly identified as incidental findings. The underlying pathologies of these lesions can be completely benign, premalignant, or malignant. Cer­tain imaging findings such as pancreatic ductal dilation, communication with the main pancreatic duct, septations, internal nodularity, and hemorrhage can suggest an under­lying pathology and guide appropriate treatment.
