What is the protocol for 2mm pancreatic cyst? had mri one year ago.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
A repeat study now: Cysts in the abdominal organs are common and fairly harmless. if you are concerned, you should discuss it with your doctor who ordered the MRI last year. A repeat MRI done now will put the issue to rest.
