Abstract:
Objective To study the clinical characteristics which are related to malignancy in pancreatic intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm (IPMN) with an aim to provide evidence for clinical practice.Methods Using PubMed,all pancreatic IPMN related articles with positive pathologic results before July 30th,2011 were studied.A pooled analysis was carried out on the morphological features of the disease.The analysis included gender,diameter of main pancreatic duct,diameter of cystic lesion,mural nodules and histological types (benign/malignant) of the neoplasm.Results 98 articles (including 1902 cases) were collected and analyzed.1025 cases were benign (53.89％) and 877 cases (46.11 ％) were malignant.Morphologically,there were a correlation between main pancreatic duct dilatation (≥5 mm),cystic lesion of large size (≥30 mm),presence of mural nodules and malignancy.The OR (95％ CI) were 5.591 (3.657-8.548),3.633 (2.626-5.027) and 4.983 (3.872-6.412) respectively.Conclusions A main pancreatic duct dilatation (≥5 mm),cystic lesions of large size (≥30 mm) and presence of mural nodules prompt the tumor to be malignant.In clinical work,the management of pancreatic IPMN should be made prudently based on comprehensive analysis of clinical features and the patient's status and intent.
