Article Synopsis
- Pancreatic cystic lesions are becoming more common due to improved imaging techniques, necessitating thorough evaluation since some may be cancerous.
- The study analyzed patients with persistent abdominal pain at a military hospital over six months, leading to 88 cystic lesions identified through endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) and further assessment with fine needle aspiration (EUS-FNA).
- Results showed that most patients had a history of pancreatitis, with the majority of lesions located in the pancreatic body, primarily involving pancreatic pseudocysts, and all EUS procedures were successfully completed.
