Intraductal Papillary Mucinous Neoplasms of Pancreas: The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly
نویسندگان
چکیده
Intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms (IPMN) arise from main pancreatic duct (MD-IPMN) and/or branch ducts (BDIPMN), and are characterized by intraductal papillary proliferation of mucin-producing epithelial cells exhibiting various degrees of dysplasia.1 IPMNs have a potential for malignant transformation with a well-described adenoma carcinoma sequence. We present endoscopic images from 3 cases of IPMN: without dysplasia, with high-grade dysplasia, and with invasive carcinoma.

CONTEXT Cystic neoplasms, which are less common forms of exocrine pancreatic neoplasms, consist of mainly intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms (IPMN) and mucinous cystic neoplasms. Mucinous cystic neoplasms, unlike IPMN, are not associated with ductal growth, are usually multilocular in nature, and have ovarian type stroma. Mucinous cystadenocarcinoma is a type of mucinous cystic neoplasm m...

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...

CONTEXT An intraductal oncocytic papillary neoplasm is a rare pancreatic tumor with the potential of developing invasive carcinoma. Its differentiation from other cystic-like neoplasms of the pancreas, such as intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms, is a challenge for pancreatic imaging. CASE REPORT We present the case of a 76-year-old male with painless jaundice caused by an intraductal on...

CONTEXT The natural history of incidental branch-duct intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm of the pancreas is still unknown. CASE REPORT The case of a 74-year-old man who had been diagnosed 14 years previously with an incidental branch-duct intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm of the pancreatic head, 30 mm in size, without mural nodules and dilatation of the main pancreatic duct is here...

Intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms (IPMNs) are characterized by the papillary proliferation of atypical mucinous epithelial cells in the pancreatic ductal system. There are two recurrence patterns following resection of IPMNs: Metachronous multifocal occurrence of IPMNs, and distinct pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) in the remnant pancreas. Several recent studies investigated the d...
