I was diagnosed with cysts in my kidney and pancreas. I can find the definition of a kidney cyst but nothing on pancreatic cysts.
Cysts are sacs or pockets filled with fluid or semi-solid material.
These account for up to 90 percent of all cysts in the pancreas. Doctors refer to them as pseudocysts or false cysts because they're lined with scar tissue from inflammation rather than pancreatic cells. But when they persist and especially if they grow larger they may require drainage. Infrequently, pseudocysts can become infected or even rupture or bleed and require further treatment. Ten percent of cysts in the pancreas are in tumors.
