Anyone have a small pancreatic IPMN cyst that turned out to be cancer?

Hi Zebra,
Glad to hear you're having the MRI/MRCP type scan. Hope it comes back benign. I can certainly relate to the anxiety about incidental findings. I read that patients now have a word for it; scanxiety. My NETs were discovered when I had a CT scan for an intestinal obstruction. Then later when I had further scans for my NETs they found a significantly calcified aortic artery. Wishing you no more incidental findings!
All the best to you.
Tom

Tom, that’s frustrating about your incidental findings too. I hope both conditions were successfully treated. I remember in 2008 I went in for bronchitis. A chest X-ray led to a CT scan that showed 50+ nodules across both lungs. Surprise! NETS & DIPNECH.
