Thanks Colleen. I have been told mine is IPMN intraductul pappilary mucinous neoplasm. Wonder if they are one and the same?

There is a difference, but that's above my pay-grade 🙂

Hi
I just found this. I am being watched for IPMN in tail. 2.2 cm. Surgeon thinks mri may show more cysts, he wants to watch and wait depending on mri results that we will have in a couple of days. What is your story pre and post surgery? Thank you.
