Incidental pancreatic cysts are being increasingly recognized recently with incremented concern about health and frequent health check-up. Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) has emerged as the principal modality for imaging pancreas for various pancreatic diseases including pancreatic cyst. But imaging alone cannot accurately identify the exact nature of the pancreatic cyst. EUS-guided fine needle aspiration is a useful adjunctive procedure to differentiate pancreatic cystic lesions. Cystic fluid analysis with cytologic evaluation is important to diagnose etiology of pancreatic cystic lesions, helping the clinician to more accurately assess the presence or potential for malignancy.
近年来，随着人们对健康的关注度不断提高以及健康检查的频繁进行，偶然发现的胰腺囊肿越来越受到重视。内镜超声（EUS）已成为用于各种胰腺疾病（包括胰腺囊肿）胰腺成像的主要方式。但仅靠成像无法准确识别胰腺囊肿的确切性质。EUS引导下细针穿刺抽吸是鉴别胰腺囊性病变的一种有用的辅助检查。对囊液进行细胞学评估的分析对于诊断胰腺囊性病变的病因很重要，有助于临床医生更准确地评估恶性肿瘤的存在或可能性。
