Worrisome features on MRI and endosonography guide the way to resection or conservative treatment with a relevant rate of failure.

In detail, the study investigated whether and in what way endocrine tumors, adenocarcinomas, premalignant and benign cysts differ morphologically in optical coherence tomography imaging compared to healthy pancreatic tissue. The final histopathological findings of the pancreatic specimens served as a reference and were correlated.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>The samples examined ranged from typical fatty tissue, intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm (IPMN), a moderate differentiated (G2) pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) based on an intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm (IPMN) and a neuroendocrine pancreatic carcinoma.
