Intraductal Papillary-Mucinous Neoplasms of the Gastric and Intestinal Types May Have Less Malignant Potential Than the Pancreatobiliary Type

Abstract

Intraductal papillary-mucinous neoplasm of the gastric and intestinal types may have less malignant potential than that of the pancreatobiliary type. Invasive carcinomas derived from intestinal-type IPMNs may be less invasive and slower growing than those derived from the pancreatobiliary type.
