Marbles and Bubbles of the Pancreas: Imaging and Management of Pancreatic Solid and Cystic Lesions

Abstract

The imaging features of focal pancreatic lesions have been extensively investigated in medical literature. However, given the range of pancreatic solid and cystic masses, determining the appropriate course of management can be challenging. Our purpose is to describe classic imaging findings of solid and cystic pancreatic lesions, review their clinical features, discuss the latest management recommendations, and avoid pitfalls considering lesion mimickers.
