What types of pancreas cysts (what are the names of them) that are found only in the body of the pancreas?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Cysrs: In general, there are two main varieties of pancreatic cysts based on the type of fluid they contain. The most common cysts are either serous (containing a thin type of fluid) or mucinous (containing a thicker, more viscous fluid). For the most part, serous cysts tend to be benign (non-cancerous). Most of the mucinous cysts are benign as well although there are a few subtypes that can be cancer
