Pancreatic Cysts

Pancreatic cysts are fluid-filled sacs that form in the pancreas, an organ that helps digest food and regulates blood sugar. They can arise for various reasons, including inflammation, tumors, or genetic disorders. While many cysts are benign and cause no symptoms, some can lead to complications or indicate more serious conditions, like pancreatic cancer. Doctors often monitor cysts through imaging tests to determine their size, type, and any potential risk. Treatment may involve observation, draining the cyst, or surgery, depending on the cyst’s characteristics and any related symptoms.
