Abstract

This article outlines the principles behind the management of pancreatic cystic lesions. We outline what the general surgeon needs to know in managing and triaging these patients. It is our feeling that the general surgeon is often the first line of evaluation of these complex patients and a working knowledge of the different types of cysts is critical to safe care of the patient.

Keywords: Cystic neoplasm; Pancreas; Pancreatic cysts.
