Published: April 2010

Intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm (IPMN) is an intraductal mucin-producing epithelial neoplasm that arises from the main pancreatic duct (MD-IPMN), secondary branch ducts (BD-IPMN), or both (mixed type; Mix-IPMN). Neoplastic progression from benign adenoma to invasive adenocarcinoma has not been proven but is generally thought to occur. With increasing recognition of IPMN, our understanding of the diagnosis and management of the tumors is evolving. At present, treatment options for patients with IPMN range from observation to pancreatic resection depending on the natural history of the lesion. This review focuses on currently available data that guide management decisions for patients with IPMN.

Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) effectively diagnoses malignant and pre-malignant gastrointestinal lesions. In the past few years, artificial intelligence (AI) has shown promising results in enhancing EUS sensitivity and accuracy, particularly for subepithelial lesions (SELs) like gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs). Furthermore, AI models have shown high accuracy in predicting malignancy in gastric GISTs and distinguishing between benign and malignant intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms (IPMNs).

Article Synopsis
  • A study of 121 cases of small duct-type intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (small duct-iCCA) identified intraductal polypoid neoplasms in 8 cases (6.6%), which showed growth patterns adjacent to mass-forming tumors.
  • These polypoid neoplasms were found to have histological and immunohistochemical similarities to the primary tumors, indicating a shared biliary subtype and reflecting the cancerization of ductal tissues.
  • A comparison with intraductal papillary neoplasm of the bile duct (IPNB) revealed differences, as IPNBs often presented non-invasive characteristics, suggesting that intraductal polypoid neoplasms should

Not all pancreatic cystic lesions are the same: lesson from a case with three different coexisting neoplasms.

October 2024

Pancreatic and Digestive Endocrine Surgical Research Group, Department of Surgery, Oncology and Gastroenterology, University of Padua, Padua, Italy.

An asymptomatic 79-year old woman presented with a 40 mm pancreatic cystic lesion, located in the pancreatic body-tail and consistent with branch-duct intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm (BD-IPMN) without "high risk stigmata". During a 4-year follow-up period, imaging showed no mural nodules or main pancreatic duct dilation, and serum CEA and CA19.9 were within normal range.
