Extra: Mucinous cystic neoplasms (MCNs) are typically found in the body or tail of the pancreas in women and are characterized by 'ovarian-like' stroma. Unlike pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma, MCNs have an excellent prognosis with a 5-year survival rate of >90% following complete surgical resection.
