Should We Be Concerned About Intraductal Papillary Mucinous Neoplasm's Unsettling Features?
Keywords:
Worrisome features, High-risk stigmata, Intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm (IPMN), Pancreatic neoplasm, Pancreatic high-grade dysplasia, Pancreatic low-grade dysplasiaAbstract
Although worrisome features represent an indication to perform endoscopic ultrasound study, recent studies have showed that these conditions are not strictly related to high risk of malignancy. Pancreatic resection for worrisome imaging features often demonstrates pathology consistent with low-grade dysplasia. Worrisome features should be considered as indicators of mostly low-grade dysplasia. High-risk stigmata are more consistent for diagnosis of malignant lesions.
