Does not communicate with PD (unlike IPMN) 10-20% have in-dwelling cancer One review found - no dysplasia in cysts <3 cm in size LN mets is rare. Distal pancreatectomy usually suffices.  Doesnt result in metachronous lesions. Surveillance isnt really necessary SCA - (Grandmother cyst) 75% of SCAs seen in post-menopausal women Can be anywhere in pancreas Honeycombing, with tiny cysts containing clear fluid distributed around central scarring. Central scarring may bear calcification in 30% cases Microcystic SCAs can undergo degeneration and become macrocystic variants zero risk of malignancy, but they can continue to grow and cause obstructive symptoms SPN - (daughter lesion) - Solid Pseudopapillary Neoplasm 90% of lesion occur in young women, in teens / twenties Anywhere  in pancreas Sol...

Pancreatic stent does not provided added advantage over rectal NSAID for prevention of post-ERCP pancreatitis: First ever RCT

Image
 DOI:  10.1097/MPA.0000000000002090 Consecutive 321 patients with native papilla,  were randomly assigned to Pancreatic stent, 50mg rectal diclofenac or stent + diclofenac at a single centre in Japan from 2014 to 2019. Pancreaitc injection performed in nearly half of all patients! 75% of all patients were considered high risk (either F<40, difficult cannulation, pancreatic cannulation, pancreatic injection, pre-cut, pancreatic sphincteortomy, balloon sphincteroplasty, IDUS, choledochoscopy)  Procedure time was >30 mins in half of all patients. 5 patients in total developed pancreatitis (all mild), with no difference in any of the 3 sub-groups.
