Diagnosis and Management of Asymptomatic Neoplastic Pancreatic Cysts

The AGA suggests that patients with pancreatic cysts <3 cm without a solid component or a dilated pancreatic duct undergo MRI for surveillance in 1 year and then every 2 years for a total of 5 years if there is no change in size or characteristics. ( Very Low , Conditional (weak) )

The AGA suggests against continued surveillance of pancreatic cysts if there has been no significant change in the characteristics of the cyst after 5 years of surveillance or if the patient is no longer a surgical candidate. ( Very Low , Conditional (weak) )
