A pancreatic cyst is a fluid filled sac within the pancreas. The prevalence of pancreatic cysts is 2-15% based on imaging studies, but the prevalence may be as high as 50% based on autopsy series. [1] Most pancreatic cysts are benign and the risk of malignancy (pancreatic cancer) is 0.5-1.5%. Pancreatic pseudocysts and serous cystadenomas ...
