A member asked:

Hi. im diagnosed with side branch ipmn. can the dr remove the cysts? what is the dos and donts with this condition? what can i do to make it go away?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

IPMN: IPMN's are growths in pancreatic ducts, yet you were told your lesion was a cyst and not a solid lesion or growth. Main branch neoplasms have more propensity to become malignant than side branch ones, but If I had your finding, I would want to be evaluated by a pancreatic surgeon or specialist at a university hospital for best care, advice and follow up. Surgery may not be recommended if no pain.
