The diameter of the main pancreatic duct IPMT and location of the tumor were significantly different between the main duct type IPMT and the branch duct type IPMT ( Table 1). The presence of ...

PDAC is associated with two major types of asymptomatic precancerous lesions - microscopic pancreatic intraepithelial neoplasia (PanINs) and macroscopic mucin-producing cystic neoplasms, namely, ...

mucinous mass arising from the main pancreatic duct (arrows). Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed several contrast-enhancing nodular tumor elements, some of them large, leading to the ...
