Relative incidences of various pancreatic neoplasms, with intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm annotated at center right. [17] Side branch IPMNs are the most common pancreatic cysts. [5] IPMNs occur more often in men than women, and often occur in the 6th and 7th decade of life.
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 mucinous cystic neoplasm (MCN) is a type of cystic lesion that occurs in the pancreas. Amongst individuals undergoing surgical resection of a pancreatic cyst, about 23 percent were mucinous cystic neoplasms. These lesions are benign, though there is a high rate of progression to cancer. As such, surgery should be pursued when feasible.
Cystic lesions of the pancreas are a group of pancreatic lesions characterized by a cystic appearance. They can be benign or malignant. [citation needed] Cystic lesions are found in 20.6% of all pancreatectomy specimens.

Pancreatic cancer rarely occurs before the age of 40, and more than half of cases of pancreatic adenocarcinoma occur in those over 70. [2] Risk factors for pancreatic cancer include tobacco smoking, obesity, diabetes, and certain rare genetic conditions. [2] About 25% of cases are linked to smoking, [3] and 5–10% are linked to inherited genes ...
A pancreatic tumor is an abnormal growth in the pancreas. [1] In adults, almost 90% are pancreatic cancer and a few are benign. [1] Pancreatic tumors are rare in children. [1] Classification is based on cellular differentiation (ductal, acinar, neuroendocrine, other) and gross appearance (intraductal, cystic, solid). [1]
