Hello,
You about the pancreas I think. It is an organ which digests the food by secreting the enzymes. Also, it may contain endocrine part secret insulin and glucagon.
In your pancreas at the tail part, you may be having a cyst. It may be pseudocyst or malignancy or benign cyst you have to confirm by CT abdomen.
So please consult your gastroenterologist he will examine and treat you accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

* Pseudo pancreatic cyst is the fluid collection formed by the recurrent attacks of pancreatitis and forming a cavitary lesion.
* According to the symptoms, one has to discuss the need of surgery with its pros and cons against the conservative medical management.
