2.5% of pancreatic exocrine tumours > 95% female predominance Surgical lesions: › 2/3 slow-growing cystadenomas › 1/3 malignant cystadenocarcinomas Often unilocular in body / tail Cyst fluid › High CEA › Mildly elevated / high amylase
Benign Older women Septated Calcified Microcystic Pancreatic head Cyst fluid › Low CEA › Normal / Low amylase › Glycogen on cytology
Key question Possible diagnosis Demographics / Male MCN unlikely History No history of Pseudocyst unlikely pancreatitis MEN Cystic neuroendocrine tumour VHL Serous cystadenoma Imaging Central Serous cystadenoma calcification Head of the MCN unlikely gland Cyst fluid High CEA / High IPMN amylase High CEA / Mildly MCN elevated amylase Low CEA / High Pseudocyst amylase Malignant SCA: Very rare potential MCN: Moderate to high IPMN: Low to high Pseudocyst: None
Diagnostics › Fluid analysis markers › EUS micro-forceps Therapeutics › EUS guided RFA
Predominantly an incidental finding › High risk / worrisome features Patient centred, MDT focussed management Novel diagnostic techniques just around the corner
