Abstract
179 he term “intraductal papillary mucinous tumor of the pancreas” has been introduced as a unifying label for mucin-producing pancreatic neoplasms previously referred to as papillary and villous adenomas, mucinous duct ectasia, and mucin-producing adenomas and carcinomas with or without invasion.

Radiologic examination is necessary for treatment planning because imaging features may indicate the site of tumor origin in the pancreas in addition to extent of spread.
