Mural nodules and prevalence of high-grade dysplasia in branch duct intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm of the pancreas undergoing resection.
A mural module (MN) within a branch-duct intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm (BD-IPMN) could be a potential target for local treatment. The main aim was to describe the location of the highest grade of dysplasia relative to the mural module to assess the relevance of local treatment. ⋯ In resected pancreata, BD-IPMN mural modules are associated with HGD distant from the mural module almost half of cases. The findings question the safety of local treatment, supporting pancreatectomy as the best approach.
