Abstract

As the diagnostic-criteria of MCN have standardized over time, MCN diagnosis has decreased in males and head/neck location. Despite this, MCN-associated adenocarcinoma/high-grade dysplasia has been stable and remains high in males. Any male with suspected MCN, regardless of location, should undergo resection.
