Usefulness of 18-FDG PET/CT in Detecting Malignancy in Intraductal Papillary Mucinous Neoplasms of the Pancreas

Background/Aim: Identifying malignancy in intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm (IPMN) of the pancreas remains challenging. This study aimed to evaluate the usefulness of 18-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (18-FDG PET/CT) in distinguishing malignant from benign IPMN of the pancreas. Patients and Methods: The cases of 79 patients with IPMN of the pancreas who underwent surgical resections between 1996 and...
