"This high-yield overview of cystic lesions of the pancreas book covers what every clinician who is managing patients with these lesions needs to know in daily practice. ... This is a great book. It is excellent for residents or fellows who are managing these patients. It is also an important read for surgeons who don't see many patients with these lesions and do not have a referral center." (James J. Mezhir, Doody's Book Reviews, May, 2015)
