OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to analyze a large single-center population of resected intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms (IPMN) of the pancreas with respect to risk factors of malignant ...

The overall risk of malignancy in pancreatic cysts may be as low as 0.5 to 1.5%, and the annual risk of progression is 0.5%. 7,15 Conversely, studies estimate that 15% of all pancreatic ...

Of the 67 cases, 27 cases (40.3%) were classified as the main duct type IPMT, 35 cases (52.2%) as the branch duct type IPMT, and five cases (7.5%) as the mixed duct type IPMT. There were 12 adenomas ...

Low-risk branch duct intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms (IPMN) are the most common precancerous form of mucinous pancreatic cysts and once identified require regular surveillance imaging. But ...

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.

Cystic neoplasms of the pancreas encompass a heterogeneous group of lesions ranging from benign entities to precursors of invasive carcinoma. Key subtypes include serous cystic neoplasms, mucinous ...
