  • Title: [Carcinoma of the pancreas at the site of an intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasia].

    Abstract:
    Intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms (IPMNs) of the pancreas are intraductally located, mucin-producing cystic neoplasms of the pancreas with a malignant potential. We report about a 54-year-old female who underwent segmental resection of the pancreas for non-invasive IPMN. The surgical margins were tumour-negative. Three years later a highly suspicious tumour of the pancreatic tail was detected during routine follow-up. Resection of the pancreatic tail was performed. The histological analysis revealed an adenocarcinoma. This case suggests the development of a pancreatic carcinoma from a non-invasive IPMN and raises the question about the extent of surgery of non-invasive IPMNs of the pancreas.
