Abstract:
The incidental detection rate of pancreatic cystic neoplasms continues to rise annually. While precise imaging diagnosis is critical for patient treatment and prognosis, significant challenges persist in current practice. Extensive overlaps in imaging features among different tumor types, coupled with phenomena of "different imaging manifestations for the same disease" and "similar imaging presentations across different diseases," create substantial difficulties in achieving accurate diagnosis. By elucidating the advantages and limitations of various clinically employed imaging modalities for diagnosing pancreatic cystic neoplasms, along with practical challenges encountered in clinical settings, this article explores how to achieve precise differential diagnosis of pancreatic cystic neoplasms based on distinct imaging characteristics, aiming to facilitate individualized precision treatment for patients.
