| Core Tip |
This paper enter a clinical debate which has real relevance in the daily practice in the field of pancreatic cystic neoplasm, as a number of asymptomatic intraductal papillary mucinous tumors (IPMNs) are diagnosed every day by abdominal imaging, and the actual most common clinical attitude provides for a weak diagnostic pathway. However, in the light of an unanimous literature, this attitude would be a while dangerous, as up to 30%-40% of IPMN cases would develop a second malignancy in their life. The same should be underlined when discussing the follow-up protocols.
