TI  - Pancreatic cystic neoplasms: a review of preoperative diagnosis and management.
PG  - 185-94

AB  - Pancreatic cystic neoplasms (PCNs) are a diverse group of neoplasms in the 
      pancreas, and are more increasingly encountered with widespread abdominal 
      screening and improved imaging techniques. The most common types of PCNs are 
      serous cystic neoplasms (SCNs), mucinous cystic neoplasms (MCNs), and intraductal 
      papillary mucinous neoplasms (IPMNs). Clinicians frequently feel bewildered in 
      the differential diagnosis and subsequent management among the various types of 
      lesions in the pancreas, which may lead to overtreatment or delayed treatment. 
      The current review provides recent developments in the understanding of the three 
      most common types of PCNs, the latest modalities used in preoperative diagnosis 
      and differential diagnosis, as well as the most up to date management. 
      Suggestions for diagnosis and differential diagnosis of SCNs, MCNs, and IPMNs are 
      also provided for young surgeons. Better understanding of these neoplasms is 
      essential for clinicians to make accurate diagnosis and to provide the best 
      management for patients.
