Neoplastic cystic tumors of the pancreas are mostly incidentally detected and they carry the risk of malignancy. We aimed to reveal practical points of the management according to the 2015 guideline of the American Gastroenterology Association. Methods: Twenty-five patients with pancreatic neoplastic cystic tumors were retrospectively analyzed. Patients' ages, genders, whether they were incidental or symptomatic when they received their initial pre-diagnosis with USG, CT, MR (+/- MRCP) or other guiding factors and EUS findings (amylase, CEA, CA 19-9 in the aspiration fluid and cell aspiration results) were evaluated. MR-MRCP and EUSs of all patients were completed. The follow-up and surgery of the patients were evaluated. Results: Of the 25 patients, 18 (72%) were female and 7 (28%) were male. The average age was 57.3 and ranged from 30-77. Ten (40%) patients with serous cystic tumor, 6 (24%) with mucinous cystic tumor, 8 (32%) with intraductal papillary mucinous tumor, and 1 (4%) with solid pseudopapillary tumor were evaluated. MR-MRCP and EUS findings were compatible and complementary in diagnosis. Pathology results of 7 (28%) operated patients were compatible and 1 (4%) patient had invasive cancer. Discussions and conclusions: Neoplastic cystic tumors of the pancreas are mostly detected incidentally. Further investigations should be done with MR-MRCP and EUS (including fluid and cell aspirate examinations) as they may have malignant potential; The diagnosis, follow-up and surgical decision should be made according to the AGA 2015 guideline due to its appropriate and practical guidance.
