Pancreatic Cystic Lesions

Pancreatic cystic lesions (PCLs) are increasingly detected with advances in abdominal imaging.
Mucinous PCLs [intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms (IPMNs) and mucinous cystic neoplasms (MCNs)] have the potential for malignant transformation. The most common non-mucinous lesions are serous cys­tadenomas (SCAs) and pseudocysts. In the absence of a known history of pancreatitis, SCAs account for 32–39%, MCNs 10–45%, and BD/Mixed IPMNs 21–33% of PCLs encountered in practice. neoplasms, although representing 10% of neoplastic PCLs, are common in young women.

To evaluate PCLs, a combination of clinical history, demographics, imaging and EUS features, cytology, cyst fluid carcinoembryonic anti­gen (CEA), and amylase is used to identify mucinous cysts. distinguishing benign non-mucinous from pre-malignant mucinous PCLs remains difficult with the current diagnostic strategy. Unusual cysts like

A solitaryPCL begins as a diagnosticchallenge and sometimes remains so after the completion of available investigations. Evaluation of surgically resected PCLs in two larger high-volume centers found that 20–30% were benign. Similarly, 42–75% of resected mucinous PCLs have low to intermediate-grade dysplasia.

Endoscopic ultrasound-guided needle-basedConfocal Laser Endomi­croscopy (nCLE) is an emerging technological advance that provides in vivo, real-time, microscopic imaging of PCLs. More than 500 patients have been enrolled worldwide since 2011 in various studies involving EUS­nCLE for the evaluation of PCLs. Recent major trials have established the

EUS-nCLE image acquisition

All EUS examinations are performed using a standard linear echoendo­scope. Fluorescein(5 ml; 10% fluorescein sodium) is intravenouslyinjected 2–3 min prior to CLE imaging. The AQ-Flex nCLE miniprobe (Cellvizio, Mauna Kea Technologies, Paris, France) is then advanced through a pro­prietary locking device into the 19-gauge (g) needle. The preloaded 19-g needle is advanced under EUS guidance into the PCL (Figure 1). The tip

of the nCLE probe is negotiated until it opposes the intracystic epithelium. Intracystic endomicroscopic images (video) are then captured for a maxi­mum of 10 minutes with permissible angulation of the 19g needle using the elevator of the echoendoscope. After image acquisition, the nCLE probe is withdrawn and the PCL is aspirated.

While ongoing research continues to evaluate therole of EUS-nCLE in the management of PCLs, published studies have established the following image pattern interpretations for specific PCLs.
Serous cystadenomas
For the identification of SCAs (Figure 2), a characteristic vascular pattern has been observed duringin vivo microscopy using EUS-nCLE. This unique pattern has been described as a “superficial vascular network” or “fern pat­tern” of vascularity (Figure 2(a)). a concentratedparallel or interconnectednetwork ofvessels emanatingfrom a larger vessel (similar to a fern leaf). Further, studies have demonstrated

Probe-based ex vivo CLE imaging in surgically resected SCAs (Figure 2(b)) has also depicted a “fern pattern” of vascularity. The characteristic histopathology of SCAs includes multiple cystic spaces lined by cuboidal/flat epithelial cells. The correla­tive pathology image in Figure 2(c) revealed flattened cystic spaces lined by cuboidal epithelial cells.
Intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm
These PCLs are characterized by the presence of papillary-type epithelium in an incomplete or completefrond-like conformation.A “rope-ladder” type vascular pattern has also been described which is more frequently observed than the “branched pattern” in the context of vascularity (Table 2).

Complete “finger-like” papillary projections are observed on both in vivo and ex vivo CLE imaging in IPMNs (Figures 3(a) and 3(b)).

or multiple, are observed in a horizon-type configuration. The presence of inflammatory cells in MCNs is detected by imaging isolated bright and reflectiveheterogeneous particles.

The vascularity in MCNs is predom-

also observed occasionally (Table 2).
Ex vivo imaging (Figure 4) also reveals epithelial bands with improved definition. While the histopathol­ogy of MCNs revealsthe characteristic “ovarian stroma”, no corresponding in vivo or ex vivo features have been observed.
17
Pseudocysts
The presence of inflammatory cells is imaged as multiple clusters of bright reflective heterogeneous particles on a dark background (Table 2). Pseudo­cysts generally do not have any detectable vascular patterns.

Cystic neuroendocrine tumor
In vivo and ex vivo imaging of cystic-NETs demonstrate dark clusters or trabeculae of cells separated by bright vascular spaces or fibrous tis­sue (Figure 5). These findings match microscopic imaging from surgical histopathology.

Squamous lined cysts (Lymphoepithelial cyst)
When lymphoepithelial cysts have keratinous debris, these can appear as clusters of bright particles (Figure 6). The cyst wall is lined by squamous epithelium bordered by abundant lymphoid tissue on histopathology.
