Relationship Between Pancreatic Cysts and Cysts in Other Organs in Patients Undergoing Medical Checkup.

We investigated the association between pancreatic cysts and cystic diseases of other organs using abdominal ultrasonography in patients undergoing medical checkup. Between April 2021 and March 2022, 4496 patients had a comprehensive medical checkup at our hospital, which included abdominal ultrasonography. Among 4496 patients, 172 (3.8%), 1592 (35.4%), and 1425 (31.7%) had pancreatic, liver, and renal cysts, respectively. Multivariate analysis revealed that the significant factors were female sex and the presence of renal cysts. Pancreatic cysts were more common in females. Renal cysts are relatively commonly detected on abdominal ultrasonography. If renal cysts are detected, comorbidities with pancreatic cysts should be considered.
