What are Pancreatic Cysts?
Pancreatic cysts are abnormal pockets of fluid that can form within the pancreas. They are broadly classified into:
Non-neoplastic (benign): Such as pseudocysts, often due to pancreatitis or injury.
Neoplastic (potentially pre-cancerous or cancerous): Including serous cystadenomas, mucinous cystic neoplasms (MCNs), and intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms (IPMNs).
Many cysts are asymptomatic and found during imaging for other conditions, but some may require monitoring or surgical intervention.
Symptoms of Pancreatic Cysts
While some patients have no symptoms, others may experience:
Upper abdominal pain
Bloating or nausea
Unexplained weight loss
Back pain
Jaundice (if a cyst compresses the bile duct)
Pancreatitis (inflammation of the pancreas)
If a cyst becomes infected or ruptures, it can cause severe pain and fever, requiring emergency care.
Diagnosis and Treatment in Ghaziabad
Diagnostic tests include:
Ultrasound and CT scan
MRI with MRCP (to view the pancreatic ducts and cyst structure)
Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) with fine needle aspiration (FNA) for fluid analysis
Blood tests for pancreatic enzymes and tumor markers
Treatment options:
Observation: Small, benign cysts may just require regular imaging follow-up.
Endoscopic drainage: For symptomatic pseudocysts.
Surgical removal: Recommended for neoplastic cysts or cysts at risk of turning cancerous. We offer laparoscopic and robotic surgery for faster recovery and minimal scarring.
