Cystic pancreatic neoplasms comprise a heterogeneous group of pathologic entities. Mucinous cystic tumors and serous cystadenomas account for more than 75% of reported cases. While serous cystadenomas are almost uniformly benign, mucinous cystic tumors all have malignant potential and must be treated as such.

Exosomal miRNA signatures of pancreatic lesions
Background Pancreatic and peri-pancreatic neoplasms encompass a variety of histotypes characterized by a heterogeneous prognostic impact. miRNAs are considered efficient candidate biomarkers due to their high stability in tissues and body fluids.

Pancreatic tumors imaging: an update [PDF]
Currently, ultrasound (US), computed tomography (CT) and Magnetic Resonance imaging (MRI) represent the mainstay in the evaluation of pancreatic solid and cystic tumors affecting pancreas in 80-85% and 10-15% of the cases respectively. Integration of US,

Pancreatic resection in very elderly patients: A critical analysis of existing evidence [PDF]
The aging of the population results in a rise of number of elderly patients (aged 80 years and older) with pancreatic or periampullary cancer, and more pancreatectomies could eventually be performed in such complex patients.

Pancreatic cancer in patient with groove pancreatitis: Potential pitfalls in diagnosis
Pancreatic cancer is among the leading causes of cancer death in the United States of America. Early detection and intervention are critical as a large majority of patients have either local or distant metastatic disease at the time of diagnosis. However,

Huge mucinous cystic neoplasms with adhesion to the left colon: A case report and literature review
Mucinous cystic neoplasms (MCN) are rare premalignant neoplasms of the pancreas typically found as single lesions in the pancreatic body and tail of women in the fifth and sixth decade of life, constituting 2–5% of pancreatic neoplasms.
