Diagnosis and patient management of intraductal papillary-mucinous tumor of the pancreas by using peroral pancreatoscopy and intraductal ultrasonography

Role of per-oral pancreatoscopy in the evaluation of suspected pancreatic duct neoplasia: a 13-year U.S. single-center experience

“…18,19 Pancreatoscopy findings in IPMN were well studied by Hara et al 8 This , and 75% for differentiating benign from malignant IPMN. Miura et al 12 reported their experience of diagnosis of IPMN in 21 patients by means of POP using a small-diameter videoscope and narrow band imaging (NBI).…”

“…The role of POP in the identification, evaluation, and sampling of occult PD lesions, 14,15,18 remains limited to case series [3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12] (Table 5). Our study expands the growing literature on this role and summarizes our largest single center study of attempted POP examinations in a heterogonous patient population with advanced or technically difficult to sample or treat pathology.…”

“…Successful procedure was defined when all 3 of the following criteria were met: (1) [3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12] and our personal experience [13][14][15] , suspected neoplastic and non-neoplastic findings were subcategorized in Table 1.…”

“…1,2 Its role in the identification, evaluation, and sampling of occult PD lesions that may not be visible by non-invasive imaging, transluminal endoscopic ultrasound (EUS), or pancreatography remains limited to case series. [3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12] The aims of this study are to: 1) evaluate the safety, efficacy, technical success, and adverse events of POP; and 2) determine the usefulness of POP for the differentiation of malignant from benign diseases of the pancreatic duct.…”

Intraductal Papillary Mucinous Neoplasia in a Case of Complete Pancreatic Divisum - A Rare Combination

“…Recently, pancreatoscopy has been shown as a promising technique in the evaluation of IPMN. The characteristic panceatoscopic findings include a papillary tumor with 'fish-egg' like appearance, granular mucosa, or mucin [6]. Pancreatoscopy is also useful in differentiating filling defects seen on ERCP and taking biopsy for histopathology.…”
