Author(s): Adam Durczynski and Janusz Strzelczyk
Pancreatic cystic neoplasms account for approximately 10% of all pancreatic neoplasms and frequency of occurrence increases with age. Among cystic neoplasms, there are benign and malignant lesions. Malignant cysts are mainly diagnosed in the group of mucinous neoplastic cysts (containing mucinous fluid). The current guidelines for the management of asymptomatic pancreatic cystic lesions (consensus) is based mainly on the radiological features of PCL and Endoscopic Ultrasonography with Fine Needle Aspiration (EUS-FNA), which are controversial, mainly due to the limited sensitivity. The histopathological examination in each case concerned the entire lesion (pancreatic resections, local excisions) or a full walled sample (after drainage or palliative operations). However, as shown by the results in this study, the increased concentration of the CEA marker in the fluid does not correlate .. View More»
