The authors report the feasibility of generating, expanding, and enumerating viable patient-derived intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm (IPMN) tumor and normal pancreatic organoids from fresh and cryopreserved resected tissue. Organoids were characterized histologically and genomically and recapitulated the morphological and mutational profiles of resected IPMNs, suggesting promise of organoids for translational efforts.
