Core Tip Pancreatic cystic lesions are increasingly detected in clinical practice, yet their diagnosis and management remain challenging due to overlapping imaging features, variable malignant potential, and limitations in current diagnostic tools. This minireview provides an up-to-date overview of classification systems, diagnostic strategies, including imaging, cyst fluid analysis, and molecular testing, as well as international guideline recommendations. It also highlights emerging technologies such as radiomics and next-generation sequencing. Emphasis is placed on the urgent need for cost-effective, accurate, and patient-focused risk stratification models to guide personalized surveillance and therapeutic decisions.
