Importance of Pancreatic Cystic Neoplasms (PCN):
Most are asymptomatic at diagnosis, frequency increases with age
Symptoms: acute pancreatitis (Wirsung obstructed by the cyst or mucus), pain, obstructive chronic pancreatitis, jaundice
> symptoms, >malignancy risk!
Classification of PCN:
Mucinous: intraductal papillary mucinous neop. and mucinous cystic neop.
Nonmucinous: serous cystic neoplasm, solid pseudopapillary neoplasm and cystic neuroendocrine tumours
Endoderm- derived columnar epithelium is characteristic for mucinous lesions

Pancreatic juice is composed by
- Acinar secretion, rich in enzymes
- Ductal secretion: A) Water that will help to flush the acinar secretion B) Bicarbonate that will neutralize gastric acid in the duodenum; some enzymes like lipase do not work in an acid environment ImageImage
The arrival of acid and protein products to the duodenum induce S-cells to produce secretin which stimulates ductal secretion. Fatty acids, amino-acids and vagus nerve induce I-cells to produce cholecystokinin (CCK) which stimulates acinar secretion Image
