Observation or resection of pancreatic intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm: An ongoing tug of war

Figure 1 Tug of war between resection and observation in intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm. Depicted for illustration is the tug of war between strategies for intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm, either resection or observation. Decision making is based on available data, which currently are conflicting. Reaction on first-event cross-sectional imaging (the Picture) may prevent information obtained from serial, temporal evaluation (the Movie) of how intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm lesions may change in character, size and context.
