Intraductal Papillary Mucinous Neoplasm of the Pancreas; Up-to-Date
Pancreatic cancer is the fourth cause of death by cancer in the developed countries, being one of the few cancers for which survival has not improved significantly during the last decades [1]. Even if pancreatic cancer is associated with high rates of mortality, a population-based screening approach is not suitable taking into account the low rates of occurrence of the pancreatic cancer in gene...
متن کاملIntraductal 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 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 کاملIntraductal Papillary Mucinous Tumor Simultaneously Involving the Liver and Pancreas
We describe here a 67-year-old man who was diagnosed with a rare case of intraductal papillary mucinous tumors that occurred simultaneously in the liver and pancreas. Abdominal computed tomography showed a tubular and cystic dilatation of the pancreatic duct in the pancreas tail, which suggested an intraductal papillary mucinous tumor (IPMT), and multiple intrahepatic duct stones. The patient u...
