Morphologic features of cystic neoplasms of the pancreas. A: Intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm (IPMN) of the main pancreatic duct. In this example the IPMN shows low-grade dysplasia, with scattered papillae seen at low power (arrows). B: IPMN with high-grade dysplasia. The neoplasm shows exuberant papillary growth that fills the lumen (Lu) of the main pancreatic duct. C: Low power view of a mucinous cystic neoplasm (MCN). The neoplasm is distinct from the surrounding pancreatic acinar tissue (Ac). D: High power view of the region outlined in panel C showing low cuboidal mucinous epithelial lining and underlying ovarian-like stroma.
