Abstract

The differential diagnosis of pancreatic cystic lesions (PCLs) includes non-neoplastic lesions and neoplastic epithelial lesions. Given that management is determined by the risk for malignant progression, associated symptoms, and other characteristics, an accurate diagnosis is imperative. The present review attempts to provide a critical path that facilitates the characterization and management of PCLs.
