Cyst on Pancreas?

Posted by faithann64 @faithann64, Feb 25, 2021

So recently i had a CT Abdomen Pelvis w/ Contrast and they found a cystic structure to arise on the Pancreas . Said it could represent a serous/mucinous neoplasm. Anyone knows what that means ??? Thank You. ( 57 year old male.)

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Pancreatic Cancer Support Group.

@faithann64 I am going to bring in @wrolsen who has recently shared information about having a pancreatic cyst so the pair of you can connect.

Also, you will notice that I have moved this discussion to the Pancreatic Cancer Group to allow you to connect with members with experiences that may benefit you as you continue to seek answers.

Can you share more about what information/next steps you were left with after receiving the news of a cystic structure on your pancreas?

I am going to assume you will be referred to a surgeon asap. It sounds like you may have a tumor that can possibly be cancerous. Your own doctor should be relaying this information to you! Note I said “possibly”. Not definitely. That is why you need to see someone who specializes in such diagnostics and perhaps surgery for biopsy.
