Abstract

Non-mucinous cystic lesions of the pancreas are a heterogeneous group comprising of both benign lesions and neoplasia with variable malignant potential. These include pseudocyst, serous cystadenoma (SCA), solid pseudopapillary tumour (SPT), cystic pancreatic endocrine neoplasm (CPEN) and other rare lesions.
