A pancreatic cystic neoplasm is a fluid-filled growth or lesion in the pancreas. These cysts can be benign (non-cancerous), premalignant (changes that may lead to cancer), or sometimes obviously malignant. There are various subtypes, like mucinous cystic neoplasms (MCNs), intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms (IPMNs), serous cystadenomas, and some other uncommon variants. Although many pancreatic cysts remain stable and harmless, some carry significant risk of transforming into pancreatic cancer.
