The problem of diagnosing postnecrotic cysts of the pancreas is considered in this article. The characteristics of laboratory (determination of the level of amylase, cytological research of punctate, determination of tumor markers) and radiation (ultrasound, endosonography, RCP, MSCT, etc.) methods of research of this pathology are presented, their specificity in the differential diagnosis of cystic formations, depressurization of the main pancreatic duct and formation of the cyst wall is considered.
