Abstract

Cystic lesions of the pancreas are histologically diverse group of lesions, from benign to the invasive malignant lesions. Due to diverse etiology, sometimes asymptomatic course of the disease and potentially malignant character they represent significant clinical problem. With the development of radiological techniques and aging of population the number of diagnosed cystic lesion increases. Computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging are excellent modalities for both initial detection and later characterization of cystic pancreatic lesions and they have leading role both in diagnostic and therapy planning. In this article we will present the spectre of most common cystics lesion of the pancreas and their radiologic presentation.
