Pseudocysts constitute the most basic @entity5409 . Symptomatic cysts may be treated by means of both minimally invasive methods and surgery. Currently, it is believed that approximately 5% of @entity5409 in the pancreas may in fact, be @entity5 . Their presence is manifested by generally irregular multilocular structures, solid nodules inside the cyst or in the pancreatic duct, frequently vascularized, as well as fragmentary thickening of the cystic wall or septation. AIM: The aim of this paper was to present current management, both diagnostic and therapeutic, in @entity1 with @entity788 . The article has been written based on the material collected and prepared in the author's Department as well as on the basis of current reports found in the quoted literature. MATERIAL AND METHODS RESULTS: In 2000-2012, the Second Department of General, Gastrointestinal and Oncological Surgery of the Alimentary Tract treated 179 @entity1 with @entity5409 in the region of the pancreas. This group comprised 12 cases of @entity5 and 167 @entity9007 . Twenty-three @entity1 (13.8%) were monitored only and 144 received procedural treatment. Out of the latter group, 75 @entity1 underwent drainage procedures and 48 were qualified to endoscopic cystogastrostomy or cystoduodenostomy. The endoscopic procedure was unsuccessful in 11 cases (23%). In a group of @entity1 with a @entity788 (12 @entity1 ), 6 of them (50%) underwent therapeutic resection of the @entity5 with adequate fragment of the gland. CONCLUSIONS: Endoscopic drainage is an effective and safe method of minimally invasive treatment of @entity45 . The @entity1 who do not qualify to endoscopic procedures require surgical treatment. The differentiation of a @entity5 from a typical cyst is of fundamental significance for the selection of the treatment method.
