Abstract
High-grade pancreatic intraepithelial neoplasia is a challenging diagnosis and it does not exhibit mass lesions. It is suspected based on changes in the main pancreatic duct in magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography. Sometimes only an unclear duct shows in magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography with no focal strictures and upstream dilatation of the main pancreatic duct. Serial pancreatic juice cytology is valuable in diagnosis of those patients.
期刊介绍:
The World Journal of Clinical Cases (WJCC) is a high-quality, peer reviewed, open-access journal. The primary task of WJCC is to rapidly publish high-quality original articles, reviews, editorials, and case reports in the field of clinical cases. In order to promote productive academic communication, the peer review process for the WJCC is transparent; to this end, all published manuscripts are accompanied by the anonymized reviewers’ comments as well as the authors’ responses. The primary aims of the WJCC are to improve diagnostic, therapeutic and preventive modalities and the skills of clinicians and to guide clinical practice in clinical cases.
