Abstract

This review article will acquaint the readers with the list and imaging characteristics of various common and uncommon cystic lesions encountered in pancreas. The new “CYSTIC” model approach proposed by the authors will ease in narrowing down the list of differential diagnosis. Since the use of cross-sectional body imaging has increased three fold in the last two decades, the radiologists should be aware of the various types of pancreatic cystic lesions.
