Article Abstract
Objective: We investigated the association between pancreatic cysts and cystic diseases of other organs using abdominal ultrasonography in patients undergoing medical checkup.
Methods: Between April 2021 and March 2022, 4496 patients had a comprehensive medical checkup at our hospital, which included abdominal ultrasonography.
Results: Among 4496 patients, 172 (3.8%), 1592 (35.4%), and 1425 (31.7%) had pancreatic, liver, and renal cysts, respectively. Multivariate analysis revealed that the significant factors were female sex and the presence of renal cysts.
Conclusion: Pancreatic cysts were more common in females. Renal cysts are relatively commonly detected on abdominal ultrasonography. If renal cysts are detected, comorbidities with pancreatic cysts should be considered.
