Title: Dilated Common Bile Duct is Commonly Associated with Main Duct Intraductal
Papillary Mucinous Neoplasm of the Pancreas
Version: 0 Date: 31 Mar 2024
Reviewer's report:
In this paper, the association between CBD dilatation and pancreatic cystic disease was shown.
34 patients showed dilatation of CBD in IPMN cases. Please show the number of patients in
each type of IPMN.
The distribution of CBD diameter in each type of IPMN was not shown. Please add the figure
of this.
The term "MCN" and "MCA" are mixed. If it is not intentional, please unify all terms to MCN.
It is better to use the term from the WHO classifications. Please change "intraductal papillary
neoplasm of the bile duct" to "intraductal papillary neoplasm".
Some cases of blanch duct type IPMN show MPD dilatation. How do you differentiate mixed
type IPMN in these cases? Is it included in the mixed type?
Have you evaluated the main pancreatic duct? Is there any correlation between MPD and CBD
diameter? Please discuss whether the condition of the MPD is relevant to the cause of CBD
dilatation.
