• #1 Pancreatic Cyst: Symptoms, Causes, Types & Treatment

  https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/pancreatic-cyst

  A pancreatic cyst is a type of tumor that grows on or in your pancreas. Its typically liquid inside, with an outer skin. Less than 1% of pancreatic cysts become cancerous, but healthcare providers keep them under surveillance just in case. […] Some pancreatic cysts seem to be related to inflammation (pancreatitis), but most occur for unknown reasons. Most pancreatic cysts wont cause any problems. Rarely, a neoplastic type of cyst can be the start of pancreatic cancer. This is more likely if you have a family history of pancreatic cancer. […] Pancreatic cysts are abnormal growths, which means that a genetic mutation occurred. But researchers dont know why these occur. They might be partly hereditary and partly triggered by other factors, like inflammation and aging. A small percentage of cysts directly relate to hereditary conditions.

  Pancreatic cysts are often detected in patients undergoing imaging with either computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for unrelated reasons. […] The etiology of pancreatic cysts varies widely depending on if they are non-neoplastic or neoplastic. Moreover, they are often found incidentally. As above, a history of pancreatic cancer and/or pancreatitis can increase the risk of developing pancreatic cysts. Neoplastic cysts include IPMN which includes main duct IPMN, branch duct IPMN, and mixed IPMN, mucinous cystic neoplasm, solid pseudopapillary neoplasm, and cystic pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors. Nonneoplastic cysts include serous cystic adenoma, simple cysts, lymphoepithelial cysts, and mucinous nonneoplastic cysts.

  Pancreatic cysts are saclike pockets of fluid on or in your pancreas. […] The main categories of pancreatic cysts can be divided into two groups, nonneoplastic or neoplastic cysts. Each group includes many different subtypes of cysts, such as pseudocysts, serous cystadenomas and mucinous cystic neoplasms. Most aren’t cancerous, and many don’t cause symptoms. But some pancreatic cysts can be or can become cancerous. […] The cause of most pancreatic cysts is unknown. Some cysts are associated with rare illnesses, including polycystic kidney disease or von Hippel-Lindau disease, a genetic disorder that can affect the pancreas and other organs. […] Pseudocysts often follow a bout of a painful condition in which digestive enzymes become prematurely active and irritate the pancreas (pancreatitis). Pseudocysts can also result from injury to the abdomen, such as from a car accident. […] Heavy alcohol use and gallstones are risk factors for pancreatitis, and pancreatitis is a risk factor for pseudocysts. Abdominal injury is also a risk factor for pseudocysts.

  Pancreatic cysts can be classified as either of non-epithelial or epithelial origin, and within each of those categories as non-neoplastic or neoplastic. […] Non-epithelial neoplastic cysts include lymphangiomas (benign) and sarcomas with cystic degeneration (malignant). […] The vast majority of pancreatic cysts fall into the category of neoplastic epithelial cysts. […] Benign cysts of epithelial origin include most importantly serous cystadenomas, but also include less common conditions such as dermoid cysts and cystic hamartomas. […] Pre-malignant cysts of epithelial origin include the two most challenging conditions mucinous cystic neoplasm (MCN) and intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm (IPMN). […] Malignant epithelial cysts include invasive carcinomas that arise from either MCN or IPMN, cystic ductal adenocarcinomas, cystic neuroendocrine tumors, and solid pseudopapillary tumors. […] The risk of high-grade dysplasia, in-situ or invasive malignancy is on the order of 60-70%. […] Although they have malignant potential, the risk is low and dependent on specific cyst features.

• #7 Pancreatic Pseudocyst – StatPearls – NCBI Bookshelf

  https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK557594/

  Pseudocysts are formed when disruption of the main pancreatic duct or its branches, either from inflammation or direct injury, causes extravasation of pancreatic enzymes into the parenchyma and eventually forms a distinct collection. Pseudocysts arise as a complication of pancreatitis. Therefore, it follows that the causes of pseudocyst formation are the same as the causes of pancreatitis. It appears that alcohol-related pancreatitis is the major cause of pancreatic pseudocyst formation in countries where alcohol consumption is higher as it contributes to over 70% of the cases. The remaining causative factors are biliary stones, trauma, or idiopathic. […] A pseudocyst is formed following an episode of acute pancreatitis, often within 4 to 6 weeks of that episode, with a well-defined wall lined by granulation or fibrous tissue. They are filled with amylase rich fluid. About one-third of pseudocysts are located near the head of the gland, and the remaining two-thirds occur in the tail. The pathogenesis of a pseudocyst formation in chronic pancreatitis is not well understood, but it may involve acute exacerbation of underlying pancreatitis with new calculus or protein plug formation in the pancreatic ducts.

• #8 Pancreatic Cyst Symptoms, Causes and Treatment

  https://www.cancercenter.com/cancer-types/pancreatic-cancer/risk-factors/pancreatic-cysts

  A cyst is by definition a hollow growth, but it can be filled with fluid, including pus, solid cheesy or chunky matter, or even air. These closed, sac-like pockets of tissue can happen anywhere in the body. Cysts that develop in the pancreas are called pancreatic cysts. […] While these cysts may sound alarming, theyre often benign. More than 90 percent of pancreatic cysts are not cancerous, although some may be considered pre-cancerous. […] Having a lot of cysts may be a sign of a specific medical syndrome that could increase the risk for pancreatic and other cancers. […] Some genetic mutations that lead to the development of pancreatic cysts also increase cancer risk. These are called hereditary cancer syndromes. […] Injuries and pancreatitis are the most common causes of pancreatic cysts. Pancreatitis can develop from a disease such as alcoholism, from having a gallstone lodge in a duct, or from trauma. Rarely, pancreatic cysts can be caused by an infection such as tuberculosis, tapeworms or other organisms. […] Pancreatic cysts are also associated with certain rare inherited and/or congenital syndromes (conditions the patient is born with).

  About 10% to 20% of people over the age of 60 have pancreas cysts, says surgical oncologist Michael Kim, M.D. Most of these are benign and will never cause problems. […] But if you have pancreas cysts, you are more likely to develop pancreatic cancer. […] There are two main genes associated with cysts in the pancreas: KRAS and GNAS. Kim says other genes associated with higher cancer risk, like BRCA mutations, can also play a role in cyst development. […] Were not sure why some people have cysts that develop into cancer and some dont, Kim says. […] Some are more likely to develop into cancer than others. […] Main duct IPMNs are the most likely to become cancerous and are found in the main duct to the pancreas. […] Cysts that are cancerous or pre-cancerous are most commonly treated with surgery, depending on the patients age and risk factors.

• #19 Practical Applications of Molecular Testing in the Cytologic Diagnosis of Pancreatic Cysts

  https://www.mdpi.com/2673-5261/2/1/2

  Mucinous pancreatic cysts are precursor lesions of ductal adenocarcinoma. […] Discoveries of the molecular alterations detectable in pancreatic cyst fluid (PCF) that help to define a mucinous cyst and its risk for malignancy have led to more routine molecular testing in the preoperative evaluation of these cysts. […] While testing PCF for carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) is a very specific test for a mucinous etiology, many mucinous cysts do not have an elevated CEA. […] In these cases, detection of a KRAS and/or GNAS mutation is highly specific for a mucinous etiology, with GNAS mutations supporting an intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm. […] Late mutations in the progression to malignancy such as those found in TP53, p16/CDKN2A, and/or SMAD4 support a high-risk lesion. […] The aim of this review is to summarize how cytopathologists approach the diagnosis of pancreatic cysts and how molecular testing impacts this diagnosis and ultimately patient care.

  https://www.medicinenet.com/pancreatic_cysts/article.htm

  Pancreatic cysts are collections (pools) of fluid that can form within the head, body, and tail of the pancreas. Some pancreatic cysts are true cysts (non-inflammatory cysts), that is, they are lined by a special layer of cells that are responsible for secreting fluid into the cysts. Other cysts are pseudocysts (inflammatory cysts) and do not contain specialized lining cells. Often these pseudocysts contain pancreatic digestive juices because they are connected to the pancreatic ducts. […] Most of the inflammatory cysts of the pancreas are pancreatic pseudocysts. Pseudocysts of the pancreas result from pancreatitis (inflammation of the pancreas). The common causes of pancreatitis include alcoholism, gallstones, trauma, and surgery. […] There are two major types of pancreatic cysts; pseudocysts (inflammatory cysts) and true cysts (non-inflammatory cysts). Inflammatory cysts are benign, whereas non-inflammatory cysts can be benign, precancerous, or cancerous.

• #36 IPMN, the Benign Pancreatic Cyst: What You Need To Know – Ezra

  https://ezra.com/blog/ipmn-symptoms

  IPMN is an acronym for intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms of the pancreas. It is also called a pancreatic cystic neoplasm. […] An IPMN is a benign (non-cancerous), fluid-filled pancreatic cyst. […] Though IPMN cysts are benign, they can develop into malignant tumors. This type of pancreatic cancer can become invasive cancer that is difficult to treat. […] However, its important to remember that while pancreatic cysts associated with IPMN can turn into pancreatic cancer, the prevalence of pancreatic cancer associated with IPMN is relatively low. […] These types of cysts are benign, which means they are not cancerous. However, in 1%-11% of patients, an IPMN can be aggressive and develop into pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma, a lethal form of pancreatic cancer. […] They found that people with a history of diabetes and insulin treatment, a family history of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), or chronic pancreatitis (CP) have an increased risk factor for IPMN.

  Pancreatic pseudocysts can also be caused by trauma. […] Mucinous cystadenoma is precancerous, which means it might become cancer if left untreated. […] An intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm (IPMN) may be precancerous or cancerous. […] Solid pseudopapillary neoplasms are usually situated in the body or tail of the pancreas and occur most often in women younger than 35. They are rare and sometimes cancerous. […] A cystic neuroendocrine tumor is mostly solid but can have cystlike components. They can be confused with other pancreatic cysts and may be precancerous or cancerous.

  Pancreatic cysts can be classified as either of non-epithelial or epithelial origin, and within each of those categories as non-neoplastic or neoplastic. […] Non-epithelial neoplastic cysts include lymphangiomas (benign) and sarcomas with cystic degeneration (malignant). […] The vast majority of pancreatic cysts fall into the category of neoplastic epithelial cysts. […] Benign cysts of epithelial origin include most importantly serous cystadenomas, but also include less common conditions such as dermoid cysts and cystic hamartomas. […] Pre-malignant cysts of epithelial origin include the two most challenging conditions mucinous cystic neoplasm (MCN) and intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm (IPMN). […] Malignant epithelial cysts include invasive carcinomas that arise from either MCN or IPMN, cystic ductal adenocarcinomas, cystic neuroendocrine tumors, and solid pseudopapillary tumors. […] The risk of high-grade dysplasia, in-situ or invasive malignancy is on the order of 60-70%. […] Although they have malignant potential, the risk is low and dependent on specific cyst features.

  Pancreatic cysts are fluid collections located within or outside the pancreas that usually contain pancreatic secretions. They may be classified as true cysts or postinflammatory cysts (pseudocysts). […] True cysts have an epithelial lining. They may be further divided into: […] Retention cysts, which result from dilation of the pancreatic duct due to obstruction (this is frequent in chronic pancreatitis). […] Neoplastic cysts (account for 50% of all pancreatic cysts): Mucinous cystic neoplasms (MCN) (may be malignant), serous cystadenoma (SCA) (almost always nonmalignant), intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms (IPMN) (some are considered to be precancerous lesions). […] Parasitic cysts, which develop as a result of echinococcosis, ascariasis, or schistosomiasis. […] Postinflammatory cysts or pseudocysts are a complication of acute pancreatitis.

  A cyst is by definition a hollow growth, but it can be filled with fluid, including pus, solid cheesy or chunky matter, or even air. These closed, sac-like pockets of tissue can happen anywhere in the body. Cysts that develop in the pancreas are called pancreatic cysts. […] While these cysts may sound alarming, theyre often benign. More than 90 percent of pancreatic cysts are not cancerous, although some may be considered pre-cancerous. […] Having a lot of cysts may be a sign of a specific medical syndrome that could increase the risk for pancreatic and other cancers. […] Some genetic mutations that lead to the development of pancreatic cysts also increase cancer risk. These are called hereditary cancer syndromes. […] Injuries and pancreatitis are the most common causes of pancreatic cysts. Pancreatitis can develop from a disease such as alcoholism, from having a gallstone lodge in a duct, or from trauma. Rarely, pancreatic cysts can be caused by an infection such as tuberculosis, tapeworms or other organisms.
