Summary Background Because most pancreatic intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms (IPMNs) will never become malignant, currently advocated long‐term surveillance is low‐yield for most individuals. Aim To develop a score chart identifying IPMNs at lowest risk of developing worrisome features or hig...
