AJR Am J Roentgenol. 2002 Apr;178(4):837-40. doi: 10.2214/ajr.178.4.1780837.

Abstract

OBJECTIVE. This report describes the CT and endoscopic sonographic appearance of simple pancreatic cysts in three adults. CONCLUSION. Simple pancreatic cysts are typically an incidental finding in adults who have no history of pancreatic disease. The imaging characteristics of simple pancreatic cysts on CT and endosonography are similar to those of benign cysts.
