Intraductal papillary mucinous tumors of the pancreas
Intraductal papillary mucinous tumors (IPMTs) are benign and malignant lesions that arise from the epithelial lining of main pancreatic duct and/or branch pancreatic ducts, with excessive mucin production (especially hyperplastic/adenomatous variety). Based on the degree of cytoarchitectural atypia on microscopic examination, IPMTs are classified as benign, borderline, carcinoma in situ and inv...
متن کاملIntraductal oncocytic papillary neoplasms of the pancreas.
We describe the clinical and pathologic features of 11 intraductal oncocytic papillary neoplasms of the pancreas, a hitherto unrecognized tumor. The patients were six men and five women, and most of the tumors were in the head (head: body/tail = 8:3). The mean patient age was 62 (range, 39-78), and the average tumor size was 6 cm. Grossly the tumors exhibited mucin-filled cysts containing nodul...
متن کاملIntraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms of the pancreas.
BACKGROUND/AIMS Intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms (IPMNs) are neoplasms of the pancreatic duct epithelium characterized by intraductal papillary growth and thick mucin secretion. Quantities of mucin fill the main and/or branches of pancreatic ducts and cause ductal dilatation. This review encompasses IPMNs, including symptoms, diagnosis, management, and prognosis. METHODS A Pubmed data...
متن کاملfocus on the intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm of the pancreas
intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms (ipmns) are rare pancreatic tumours, accounting for less of 1-2% of all neoplasms of the gland. main characteristics of ipmns are their favourable prognosis as these pre-malignant or frankly malignant lesions are usually slow-growing tumours and radical surgery is frequently possible. according with the localization of the lesions, three different entiti...
متن کاملCan an intraductal papillary mucinous tumor be a potential indicator of concurrent adenocarcinoma of the pancreas?
CONTEXT Despite the recent progress of diagnostic and therapeutic modalities, survival rates of pancreatic adenocarcinoma remain poor, mainly due to late diagnosis. CASE REPORT We report the case of a 56-year-old man who was diagnosed with a symptomatic intraductal papillary mucinous tumor of the pancreas located in the uncus. This tumor was associated with a concurrent stenosis of the isthmi...
