Book excerpt: This atlas not only reviews cystic neoplasms of the pancreas according to the new WHO and AFIP classifications, but the authors have also included their own clinical experience. Each different type of cyst and tumor is examined in terms of its demographic and clinical features. Newest techniques for the differentiation and diagnosis of each type are discussed. In each case, the microscopic and macroscopic findings, histochemical and immunohistochemical as well as ultrastructural findings are presented. Each section concludes with a discussion of prognosis and treatment. Numerous figures and photographs illustrate each point in detail. Text and illustrations thus complement each other, the result being a most useful and timely reference work.
