Excerpt

Within our generation, we have witnessed an evolution of surgery for cystic lesions of the pancreas, particularly intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms (IPMNs). Recommendations for surgical resection have progressed from resection of all lesions to resection of only selected IPMNs based on an estimation of malignant risk. Since the characterization and terminology of what constitutes an IPMN has evolved over the last 22 years since the WHO definition, the reported incidence of malignancy in surgically treated patients has fluctuated based on the time period of reporting. The purpose of the current study was to create a snapshot of the rate of malignancy in resected IPMNs that is reflective of the current surgical era post-establishment of recent international consensus guidelines. …
