Key Words	Endoscopic ultrasound; Pancreatic intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms
Core Tip	This review shows that endoscopic ultrasound initially provides differential diagnosis of pancreatic cystic tumors and subsequently can classify intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms of the pancreas into their different types. With the use of endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) fine-needle aspiration and other techniques, such as contrast enhancement, EUS can differentiate between benign and malignant neoplasms and help the clinician to implement the proper treatment strategy.
