ABSTRACT
Pancreatic cysts are a growing pandemic around the world. Intrapapillary mucinous neoplasms are the most common type of pancreatic cysts and given their premalignant nature, guidelines recommend surveillance. This case study and discussion addresses the five existing guidelines published to help clinicians manage patients with intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms and illustrates how, despite guidelines and close surveillance, intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms can transform into pancreatic adenocarcinoma.
