Cystic neoplasms of the pancreas.
Although a minority of pancreatic cystic tumors are neoplastic, proper diagnosis of these neoplasms is important owing to their varied clinical course and behavior. The clinicopathologic features of pancreatic cystic neoplasms, including mucinous cystic neoplasms, intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms, solid pseudopapillary tumors, and serous microcystic adenomas, are discussed in this review.
