- Abstract
Management of patients with small (1-3 cm) branch duct intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms (IPMN) is a challenge. Symptoms, dilated duct, mural nodule or positive cytology have been proposed as parameters for resection. The aim of our study was to compare this proposed algorithm to one that incorporates cytology with less than malignant epithelial cells and cyst fluid carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA).
