Abstract

Cystic tumors of the pancreas are rare, but attract increasing interest as their prognosis is good and the disease is very often curable. One of the most interesting questions dealing with pancreatic cystic tumors remains, whether they appear more frequently in the last decades or the diagnostic tools improved in such a way that they are more frequently diagnosed and classified. As cystic tumors were diagnosed earlier, their resection rate also increased accordingly, allowing a detailed histopathological classification of the tumors. This led to a more precise pathomorphological description and a better classification of cystic pancreatic tumors. In this book chapter, we will give an overview of epidemiological data for the most common cystic pancreatic tumors.
