Exclusion Criteria:
- Any known history or evidence of the following from any previous imaging study:
pancreatic cyst, solid mass, suspected pancreatic mass, dilated main pancreatic duct
- Previous surgical resection of any portion of the upper GI tract such as Billroth II
that would not permit complete EUS exam of the pancreas

- The patients underwent a complete EUS examination of the pancreas.
Type of Study:
Observational
Study Design:
Observational Model: Case-Only, Time Perspective: Prospective
Outcome Measure:
Prevalence of Pancreatic Cysts During Routine EUS
Outcome Description:
Cross-sectional imaging identifies cystic neoplasms in up to 1.2% of the general population. However, data from an autopsy series reports pancreatic cysts in up to 24% of patients.EUS can identify small cysts that are not seen on CT scan, MRI or other cross sectional imaging we hypothesize that pancreatic cysts are present between 1.2 and 24% of the population, with rates varying by variables such as age and a previous diagnosis of pancreatitis. The purpose of this study is to identify the prevalence of pancreatic cysts in patients undergoing EUS for non-pancreatic indications .
