Pancreatic Cysts

Pancreatic cysts are fluid-filled pockets that can form on or in the pancreas. They are often discovered by chance during imaging tests for other health issues. Most pancreatic cysts are not cancerous, but some may require further evaluation to determine if they have the potential to become cancerous. These cysts usually do not cause symptoms, but larger ones may lead to pain or blockage in the pancreas. If you have been diagnosed with a pancreatic cyst, it's important to follow up with your healthcare provider for proper evaluation and management.
