Benign mucinous cystic neoplasm of pancreas in a 62 year old woman. A. CT scan showed a peripherally calcified spheroidal mass at the tail of the pancreas. Cytology only showed debris and inflammatory cells, but CEA of the fluid was 2875.2 ng/mL. B. Almost all sections of the cyst showed acellular debris topping a fibrous, often calcified wall, consistent with a pseudocyst. C. Extensive sampling, undertaken because of the high CEA, revealed rare sections with a lining. D. Lining nuclei are bland, with even chromatin. Shape and size variation, as well as darkening when shrunken, are all explicable by degeneration. E. Within distal pancreas, a focus of changes of chronic pancreatitis is seen upper left, while a pancreatic duct in lower right shows an intraductal proliferation. F. Tumor cells show mucinous vacuoles, with better preserved nuclei.  Nuclear appearances remain bland. G. Cellular ovarian stroma appeared beneath epithelium of a separate focus of the cystic neoplasm.

===General===
{{Main|Intraductal papillary mucinous tumour}}
*Morphologically and biologically distinct from ductal adenocarcinoma, mucinous cystic tumour and ductal papillary hyperplasia.
*Prognosis:
**Favourable if caught early; not much different than ductal adenocarcinoma if caught late.<ref name=pmid12377813>{{cite journal |author=Maire F, Hammel P, Terris B, ''et al.'' |title=Prognosis of malignant intraductal papillary mucinous tumours of the pancreas after surgical resection.

***Main duct (bad prognosis).
***Branch (good prognosis).
 
Clinical:
*Patient usually not jaundiced... as no obstruction.
*Often diabetes... as pancreas is destroyed.
*Patients may get a total pancreatectomy - as the disease is often multifocal.
 
====Epidemiology====
*~1% of all exocrine pancreatic tumours.
*More common in males.
*Mean age at presentation 62 years.
*60-80% occur in the head of the pancreas.
*Average size 4 cm.
 
===Gross===
*May be patchy/multifocal.
*Multiple cystic spaces.
 
===Microscopic===
Features:
*Pancreatic duct lining cells jut into the duct lumen - papillomatous growth pattern.
*Cytology:
**Cell enlargement.
***Increased mucin production.
**Nuclear changes:
***Increased [[NC ratio]].
***Nuclear crowding and [[nuclear pleomorphism|pleomorphism]].
**Mitotic activity.
 
Note:
*No ovarian type stroma underneath (as seen in mucinous tumours).
 
DDx:
*[[PanIN]].
*[[Invasive ductal carcinoma of the pancreas]].
*Intra-ampullary papillary-tubular neoplasm -- see ''[[ampulla of Vater]]''.
 
====Classification of IMPT====

#Main duct type.
#*Commonly associated with invasive carcinoma.
#Branch duct type.
#*Less commonly associated with invasive carcinoma.
 
=====Behaviour - Khalifa=====
*Adenoma.
*Borderline mucinous tumour.
*Carcinoma.
 
Notes:
*Borderline tumours are rare.
*If intralobular dilated ducts... carcinoma.
*Any margin with mucin cells in thought to be badness!

**Not neoplastic, i.e. clonal.
*PanIN1b.
**Not neoplastic, i.e. clonal.
*PanIN2.

*PanIN3.
**Can be thought of as ''high-grade dysplasia'', e.g. ''(colonic) villous adenoma''.

**Nuclear size & stratification perserved, arch. perserved.
*PanIN1b - increased amount of cytoplasm, folding of epithelium/moderated arch. distortion.
