## Abstract ## BACKGROUND: The management of patients with pancreatic cysts is based on the preoperative distinction of nonmucinous and mucinous cysts in general and of benign and malignant cysts in particular. An accurate diagnosis is challenging, because endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) and cyst flui

## BACKGROUND, This study was performed to evaluate the utility of serum and cyst fluid analysis for enzymes (amylase and lipase) and tumor markers (carcinoembiyonic antigen, CA CA 125, in the differential diagnosis of cystic pancreatic lesions. ## METHODS. Serum and cyst fluid were obtained fr
Most pancreatic cysts (90%) are inflammatory pseudocysts. Approximately 10% of pancreatic cysts are neoplasms, including serous cystadenomas, and mucinous tumors, some of which are malignant. Analysis of pancreatic cyst fluid obtained by percutaneous or endoscopic fine-needle aspiration is increasin
## Background: The management of foregut duplication cysts is controversial, especially in asymptomatic patients. the safety and accuracy of endoscopic ultrasound (eus) and eus-fine-needle aspiration eus-fna) in confirming the nature of cysts by using electron microscopy (em) has not been reported.
