Summary

The purpose of the study is to learn about a new treatment for pancreatic cystic lesions. The injection of alcohol into cysts is a common way of treating cysts of the liver, kidney, and thyroid. We would like to find out if injection of alcohol would be useful for the treatment of pancreatic cystic lesions. The treatment with alcohol will use endoscopy and endoscopic ultrasound (procedures that use a scope that is placed through your mouth and into your stomach). We hypothesize that more than half of the cysts which are injected with ethanol will resolve.
