I have a friend that has cists on her pancreist. She has been on a pick line for 3 months, There was another cysts that came up just recently. Cannot operate because the cysts are considered poison and if operated on it could distribute poison to the rest of her organs. Is this a normal process for this problem. Is there any doctor that she should get a seond opionion or one that may have knowledge of this special kind of problem? I am very worried about her!
Hi! I'm sorry but must ask you some more questions before answering: do you know what the USG/CT scan reports say about the cysts? What is the age of this patient? What are the symptoms? Well, there are a lot of possibilities in this case and this could well be operated by a gastrosurgeon or oncosurgeon.... Possibilities are: 1. Pseudocyst which are very common2. Bile-filled cysts3. Cysts containing cancer or stones4. Parasitic cyst like hydrated cystTherefore an FNAC under CT-guidance is necessary before anything else; it is necessary to confirm the diagnosis. Hope you got the answer; please write to us with follow-up ! Wishing your friend good health!
