Differential Diagnosis of Pancreatic Cystic Tumors

Pancreatic cystic tumors (PCTs) represent a heterogeneous group of lesions with diverse biological behaviours, ranging from inflammatory, benign, premalignant and malignant Accurate differential diagnosis is essential for guiding clinical management, as overtreatment of benign cysts or underdiagnosis of malignant ones can have significant consequences. The recent advances in imaging modalities, cyst fluid analysis, and molecular profiling have greatly enhanced the diagnostic precision of these entities.We can cover the following topics1.
