A member asked:

28/f.mri for other purpose, showed a "tiny punctate cystic lesion in the pancreatic tail." really no detail. have to wait for dr appoint. suggestions?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Watch carefully: A tiny punctate cystic lesion in tail of pancreas probably is benign. Most cystic lesions will grow and be evaluated by aspiration and analysis of fluid by CEA and CA19.9. If quesionable an ERCP amd duct brushing can be performed for cytology. Otherwise re examination by MRI in 4 mo to see if growth occurs.
