Pancreatic cysts are fluid-filled sacs that can form in the pancreas. They are relatively common, with estimates suggesting that up to 13% of the population may have pancreatic cysts. While most pancreatic cysts are benign, some can be precursors to pancreatic cancer. As a result, managing pancreatic cysts is an important part of primary care.

The first step in managing pancreatic cysts is to determine their type. There are several types of pancreatic cysts, including serous cystic neoplasms, mucinous cystic neoplasms, intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms, and solid pseudopapillary neoplasms. Each type of cyst has different characteristics and requires different management strategies.

Initial evaluation of a pancreatic cyst often involves a detailed medical history and physical exam, along with imaging studies such as ultrasound, computed tomography (CT), or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). If the cyst appears suspicious or has concerning features on imaging, referral to a gastroenterologist or pancreatic specialist may be necessary for further evaluation and management.

In general, small, asymptomatic pancreatic cysts that appear benign on imaging may simply require periodic monitoring with imaging studies. Larger or symptomatic cysts, or those with concerning features, may require further evaluation, such as endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) with fine-needle aspiration (FNA) or biopsy.

In summary, managing pancreatic cysts in the primary care setting involves identifying the type of cyst, assessing its characteristics, and determining the appropriate management strategy based on the individual patient's situation. Referral to a specialist may be necessary in some cases.
