A Quick Breakdown: What Is a Pancreatic Cyst?

Pancreatic cysts are fluid-filled sacs that develop on or in the pancreas. Most are noncancerous and cause no symptoms, but some types, like intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms (IPMN) or mucinous cystic neoplasms (MCN), carry the potential to become malignant over time.

Common causes include:

Most pancreatic cysts are discovered unintentionally; however, early diagnosis remains essential for proper monitoring and treatment.

FAQs:

Do all pancreatic cysts require surgery?

No. Many cysts are monitored with periodic imaging. Surgery is only considered for cysts with high-risk features or those causing symptoms.

Are pancreatic cysts cancer?

Not necessarily. Some cysts are benign, some are precancerous, and a few are cancerous. OBUR Health helps determine what your results mean and what action is needed.

Can I just ignore my pancreatic cyst?

It’s not recommended. Even if the cyst seems harmless now, regular follow-up is essential to detect changes that could increase your risk later.

What’s the difference between a pancreatic cyst and pancreatitis?

Pancreatitis is inflammation of the pancreas, while a cyst is a fluid-filled sac. However, pancreatitis can lead to cyst development.
