An intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm (IPMN) is a benign or noncancerous cyst in the ducts of the pancreas. The cysts are sometimes precancerous, which means they may lead to pancreatic cancer.

Background and Aim: Intraductal papillary mucinous tumor (IPMT) of the pancreas can be divided into three clinically distinct subtypes: main duct type, branch duct type and mixed type. Although it ...

IPMN tumors are being recognized with increasing frequency and appear to have a better prognosis than adenocarcinoma of the pancreas. This report highlights the increased risk for other benign or ...

Intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms (IPMNs) usually occur within the head of the pancreas and arise within the pancreatic ducts. The ductal epithelium forms a papillary projection into the duct ...

The intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms (IPMN) can evolve through all biological stages, from slight dysplasia to carcinoma. As one of the few surgically curable pancreatic tumors, accurate ...

In this study, the clinicopathological characteristics of hepatic mucinous cystic neoplasms are compared with those of biliary intraductal papillary neoplasms. The diagnosis of mucinous cystic ...

Intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm of the pancreas (IPMN) shows a wide spectrum of histological presentations, ranging from adenoma with mild atypia to adenocarcinoma. In general, branch duct ...

The intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms (IPMN) can evolve through all biological stages, from slight dysplasia to carcinoma. As one of the few surgically curable pancreatic tumors ...

Panel B shows an endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatographic image of a benign, main-duct intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm. The management of cystic neoplasms of the pancreas has not ...
