Despite advances in diagnostic methods, identifying these premalignant lesions is still challenging for treatment providers. Modern imaging, biomarkers and molecular tests for genomic alterations can be used for diagnosis and followup. Surgical intervention in combination with new chemotherapeutic agents is considered the optimal treatment for malignant cases. The balance between the risk of malignancy and any risk of resection guides management policy; therefore, treatment should be individualized based on a meticulous preoperative assessment of high-risk stigmata. IPN of the bile duct is more aggressive; thus, early diagnosis and surgery are crucial. The conservative management of low-risk pancreatic branch-duct lesions is safe and effective.  \nKey Words: Biliary tree diseases; Pancreatic cystic neoplasms; Biliary tract neoplasms; Extrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma; Pancreatic adenocarcinoma  \n©The Author(s) 2024.

All rights reserved.  \nCore Tip: The balance between overlooking a potential malignancy and the outcomes of a high-risk major operation should be accounted for in the decision-making process of the therapeutic plan. Despite the use of modern diagnostic modalities, overtreatment may occur in many patients; thus, the correct management of pancreatobiliary intraductal papillary neoplasms (IPNs) must be individualized. The proper management of pancreatobiliary IPNs is based on a precise preoperative diagnosis that correctly evaluates the defined high-risk stigmata and worrisome features.  \n WJG  [https://www.wjgnet.com](https://www.wjgnet.com) 1461 March 14, 2024  Volume 30  Issue 10   \nPavlidis ET et al.
