Preoperative cross-sectional imaging, such as computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging, plays a key role in differentiating between benign and malignant intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms.

Intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm of pancreas
Intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms (IPMNs) of the pancreas are neoplasms that are characterized by ductal dilation, intraductal papillary growth, and thick mucus secretion. This relatively recently defined pathology is evolving in terms of its etiopathogenesis, clinical features, diagnosis, management, and treatment guidelines.

Pseudomyxoma Peritonei Secondary to Rupture of Intraductal Papillary Neoplasm of Pancreas (IPMN) [PDF]
Pseudomyxoma peritonei is the intraperitoneal accumulation of a gelatinous ascites secondary to mucinous tumour rupture, more commonly associated with ovarian and appendiceal mucinous tumour.

Radiomics Boosts Deep Learning Model for IPMN Classification [PDF]
Intraductal Papillary Mucinous Neoplasm (IPMN) cysts are pre-malignant pancreas lesions, and they can progress into pancreatic cancer. Therefore, detecting and stratifying their risk level is of ultimate importance for effective treatment planning and disease control. However, this is a highly challenging task because of the diverse and irregular shape,

The lubricity of mucin solutions is robust toward changes in physiological conditions [PDF]
Solutions of manually purified gastric mucins have been shown to be promising lubricants for biomedical purposes, where they can efficiently reduce friction and wear. However, so far, such mucin solutions have been mostly tested in specific settings, and variations in the composition of the lubricating fluid have not been systematically explored.

Intraductal Papillary Mucinous Neoplasm with Pancreatogastric Fistula
We herein report a rare case of intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm with a pancreatogastric fistula in an elderly Japanese man admitted to our hospital. The pancreatogastric fistula was confirmed using endoscopic retrograde pancreatography via a cannulated guidewire placed in the stomach.
