I was just diagnosed with IPMN. THE GASTRO GUY WHO BIOPSIED IT SAID I WOULD HAVE SURGERY. THE SURGEON DISAGRRED. WE R STILL WAITING FOR THE RESULTS OF THE LAST TEST BUT HE IS PRETTY SURE HE WANTS TO WAIT AND SEE FOR 6 months.
If/when i have surgery its likely they will take spleen too. Why?
Has anyone had IPMN and can they share their experience. Thank you.

Removal of the spleen depends the type of surgery you have which depends on where the IPMN is. Whipple for the head of the pancreas does not take the spleen.

What was the latest test the surgeon is waiting on?

Have you had an EUS to compare to the MRCP.

I have an SB- IPMN that they followed for 3 years. EUS in 2022 and again last month. Just now having surgery.
