Abstract
A dilated main pancreatic duct in the distal remnant after proximal pancreatectomy for intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms (IPMN) poses a diagnostic dilemma. We sought to determine parameters predictive of remnant main-duct IPMN and malignancy during surveillance. Three hundred seventeen patients underwent proximal pancreatectomy for IPMN (Indiana University, 1991–2016). Main-duct dilation included those ≥ 5 mm or “dilated” on radiographic...
