Mucinous cystic neoplasms (MCNs) of the pancreas are rare, but have recently been increasing in incidence. The aim of this retrospective clinical study was to elucidate the clinicopathological features and prognosis of MCNs with ovarian stroma at a single centre. ⋯ The prognosis of the resected non-invasive MCNs was excellent. Although resection should be considered for all cases, in low-risk MCNs (<5 cm and without nodules), nonradical resections (i.e. enucleations) are appropriate.
