    BackgroundIntraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms (IPMNs) and mucinous cystic neoplasms (MCNs) represent the tumors with malignant transformation potential. The objective of the study was to verify their pathological characteristics, prognoses, and recurrence factors.MethodsTwo hundred eighteen IPMNs and 27 MCNs resected at a single institution were included. The demographic, preoperative, histopathological, and follow-up data of the patients were recorded and analyzed. Overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS) were defined as the interval from the date of initial surgery to death or the last follow-up (OS) and to diagnosis of recurrence or death at follow-up (DFS).ResultsOf the 218 IPMN and 27 MCN patients, 93 (42.7%) and 8 (29.6%) cases were malignant, respectively. IPMNs occurred in older patients compared with MCN patients (median 63 years vs 54 years, P < 0.0001), and MCNs occurred exclusively in females (100%). Of the overall study cohort, the pathological specimens presented peripheral invasion in 37 (15.1%) patients and incisal margin invasion was observed in 46 (18.8%) patients. After a median follow-up of 34 months, 37 (14.9%) patients relapsed. The 5-year OS and DFS rates of IPMNs were 97.5% and 80.6%; and the OS and DFS rates of MCNs were 95.7% and 87.0%, respectively. There were four independent risk factors associated with recurrence: pathological diagnoses with malignancy (odds ratio, OR = 3.65), presence of oncocytic type for IPMN (OR = 1.69), peripheral invasion (OR = 12.87), and incisal margin invasion (OR = 1.99).ConclusionsIPMNs and MCNs are indolent tumors with favorable prognoses after surgical resection in terms of their relatively high OS and DFS rate. Patients with malignant pathological-related diagnoses should accept strict tumor surveillance in view of their higher risk of recurrence.
