How can I find out which type of cyst I have?

Hello @bosnia,

I found some information on Mayo Clinic's website about the two different types of pancreatic cysts. Here is the link to that information:
https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/pancreatic-cysts/symptoms-causes/syc-20375993

Have you asked any of your doctors who have done the FNA or MRCP this question? I'm wondering if they would tell you, or if it would be on the biopsy report. Did you get a biopsy report for your own records?

Thanks Teresa for information. Cytological findings show that it has a cylindrical epithelium. This would support the fact that it is not a pseudocyst, because a pseudocyst has a fibrous capsule. CEA 103, Amylase 169. Conclusion: cystic change. I asked the doctors, but they don't have concrete answers. It seems to me that the parameters do not fit into any known in the literature and that is why they avoid specifying the type.
