The Use of Protein-Based Biomarkers for the Diagnosis of Cystic Tumors of the Pancreas
Figure 1
These images highlight the limitations of cross-sectional imaging and endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) in differentiating cyst types. By CT ((a)+(c)) and by EUS ((b)+(d)), the two cysts look very similar. The cyst in (a) and (b) was a macrocystic serous cystadenoma and the cyst in (c) and (d) was a mucinous cystadenoma. The histology of both was confirmed by surgical resection.
