Pancreatic cysts are fluid-filled sacs that develop in the pancreas. Some are benign and pose little risk, while others may carry the potential to become cancerous.
Some warning signs call for closer medical attention. These include cysts larger than 3 cm, thickened or irregular walls, rapid growth, or symptoms such as unexplained weight loss or jaundice. In these cases, your doctor may recommend further imaging, close monitoring, or surgery — depending on the type of cyst and its risk profile.
Early diagnosis can make a big difference. If you’ve been diagnosed with a pancreatic cyst or are experiencing symptoms, book a consultation.
