What are the odds of benign pancreatic lesions?

The probability of benign pancreatic mass is usually about 20%.

Benign mass usually refers to cysts, lipomas, inflammation or other non-cancerous lesions in the pancreas, while malignant mass refers to pancreatic cancer. The probability of benign pancreatic mass is relatively low, generally about 20%. For patients who find pancreatic mass, doctors usually perform imaging evaluation, such as ultrasound, CT scan, MRI, etc., to observe the characteristics of mass, such as size, shape, edge, internal structure, etc., so as to preliminarily determine the benign probability of mass. Secondly, patients can also cooperate with doctors through histological examination to observe whether there are malignant cells in the lesion site, which helps to clarify the nature of space-occupying lesions.
