  ABSTRACT: Objective: Increasing incidence of non-inflammatory cystic lesions of the pancreas challenges work-up algorithms, surgery and surveillance. We have reviewed our experience with these tumours in accordance with International Consensus Guidelines and evaluated the outcome. Patients and Methods: From 1999 to 2009, 34 cases referred to Haukeland University Hospital were operated upon; ten were serous (SCN), twenty-one IPMNs, one MCN, and two solid pseudopapillary neoplasms (SPPN). A thorough medical history was supplemented by CT, MRI, and US before each case were discussed in a MDT to decide on the best subsequent care. Results: All SCN and SPPN patients had benign histopathology, and no deaths were reported. Survival for malignant IPMN was, 2 years: 75%, and 5 years: 67%, where after no deaths were registered in the observation period. Presence of jaundice had the highest impact on survival (p = 0.0009), followed by weight loss (p = 0.005) and dilatation of the common bile duct (p = 0.04). In the IPMN group two had pancreatic juice leakage, and reoperation was performed in one. Conclusions: All SCN turned out benign which justify a high threshold for resection unless unacceptable symptoms dominate. For branch duct IPMNs resections of asymptomatic and smaller lesions (
