摘要

This chapter examines intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms of the pancreas, a common cystic precursor to pancreatic cancer. It details classification into main-duct, branch-duct, and mixed types, each with distinct malignancy risks. Key imaging features, diagnostic challenges, and management strategies based on high-risk stigmata are discussed to guide appropriate surveillance and intervention.
