Prevalence of Pancreatic Cysts During Routine EUS


Inclusion Criteria:

referred for EUS for any other indication other than the evaluation of a known
pancreatic cyst, solid mass, or suspected mass.

Exclusion Criteria:

- Any known history or evidence of the following from any previous imaging study:
pancreatic cyst, solid mass, suspected pancreatic mass, dilated main pancreatic duct

- Previous surgical resection of any portion of the upper GI tract such as Billroth II
that would not permit complete EUS exam of the pancreas

- Coagulopathy and/or thrombocytopenia

- The patients underwent a complete EUS examination of the pancreas.

Type of Study:

Observational

Study Design:

Observational Model: Case-Only, Time Perspective: Prospective

Outcome Measure:

Prevalence of Pancreatic Cysts During Routine EUS

Outcome Description:

Cross-sectional imaging identifies cystic neoplasms in up to 1.2% of the general population. However, data from an autopsy series reports pancreatic cysts in up to 24% of patients.EUS can identify small cysts that are not seen on CT scan, MRI or other cross sectional imaging we hypothesize that pancreatic cysts are present between 1.2 and 24% of the population, with rates varying by variables such as age and a previous diagnosis of pancreatitis. The purpose of this study is to identify the prevalence of pancreatic cysts in patients undergoing EUS for non-pancreatic indications .
