BACKGROUND/AIMS: Branch-type intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms (BT-IPMNs) are a subset of non-inflammatory mucinous lesions of the pancreas. Selected BT-IPMNs can be managed conservatively by surveillance because of their lower malignant potential. This review aims to update the reader on advances in our knowledge of BT-IPMNs since the consensus guidelines published in 2006.
A Pubmed search for BT-IPMNs was undertaken and relevant papers were reviewed.
Due to the relative scarcity of this condition, still little is known about the natural history, the best method of surveillance or the surgical and non-surgical options.
A national database of BT-IPMNs would enable a large enough cohort of patients to be followed up and valid conclusions drawn regarding the best method of treatment or surveillance. and IAP.
背景/目的：分支型胰管内乳头状黏液性肿瘤（BT-IPMNs）是胰腺非炎症性黏液性病变的一个亚类。由于其恶性潜能较低，部分 BT-IPMN 可通过监测进行保守治疗。本综述旨在介绍自 2006 年共识指南发布以来，我们对 BT-IPMN 的认识的最新进展。
对 Pubmed 中有关 BT-IPMN 的文献进行了检索，并对相关文献进行了综述。
由于这种疾病相对少见，我们对其自然史、最佳监测方法以及手术和非手术选择仍知之甚少。
BT-IPMN 的国家数据库将能够对足够大的患者队列进行随访，并就最佳治疗或监测方法得出有效的结论。IAP。
