Usefulness of contrast-enhanced endoscopic sonography for discriminating mural nodules from mucous clots in intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms: a single-center prospective study.

Abstract

Evaluation of vascularity by contrast-enhanced endoscopic sonography could be useful for distinguishing mural nodules from mucous clots in intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms. Contrast-enhanced endoscopic sonography could be a necessary option to determine surgical indications for intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms when mural lesions are observed.
