Abstract

Intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms (IPMNs) are a group of exocrine mucin-producing tumors, diagnosed at a mean age of 60 years, with male prevalence.

Improvements in imaging techniques have led to an increasing incidental detection of IPMNs.

Age and clinical, laboratory, and imaging findings are accurate in stratifying these lesions, and imaging plays a pivot role in their management.
