title: Cystic pancreatic lesions: From increased diagnosis rate to new dilemmas.
abstract: Cystic pancreatic lesions vary from benign to malignant entities and are increasingly detected on cross-sectional imaging. Knowledge of the imaging appearances of cystic pancreatic lesions may help radiologists in their diagnostic reporting and management. In this review, we discuss the morphologic classification of these lesions based on a diagnostic algorithm as well as the management of these lesions.
