There has been significant increase in the detection of incidental pancreatic lesions due to widespread use of cross-sectional imaging like computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging supplemented with improvements in imaging resolution. Hence, accurate diagnosis (benign, borderline, or malignant lesion) and adequate follow-up is advised for these incidentally detected pancreatic lesions. In this article, we would review the various pancreatic parenchymal (cystic or solid) and ductal lesions (congenital or pathological), discuss the algorithmic approach in management of incidental pancreatic lesions, and highlight the key imaging features for accurate diagnosis.
