Malignant potential of intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms of the pancreas

Abstract: An intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm (IPMN) is now a well-recognized disease entity. In general, the prognosis of IPMN is much more favorable than that of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). However, IPMN has a broad biological spectrum and it sometimes progresses, slowly showing neoplastic transformations. International consensus guidelines have been recently proposed for the management of IPMN. While they significantly contribute to appropriate management of IPMN, various issues including the natu… Show more

“…13 The malignancy potential is higher in MD-IPMN cases (57% -92%) than in those with BD-IPMN (6% -46%). 14 Based on the morphological characteristics and immunohistochemical features of mucin glycoproteins, IPMN is also classified into four subtypes: gastric, intestinal, pancreatobiliary and oncocytic. 12 The most frequent are gastric and intestinal subtypes.…”

“…IPMN of the pancreas is defined as an intraductal mucinproducing neoplasm of the pancreatic duct, and the cases are subdivided into main duct-type and branch duct-type IPMN depending on the location of the lesion [25][26][27]. Histologically, it is classified as adenoma (dysplasia of low grade), borderline (dysplasia of moderate degree), carcinoma in situ and infiltrating carcinoma.…”
