Multifocal intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm of the pancreas-A case report

Cystic neoplasms of the pancreas are relatively rare, comprising 10 percent of pancreatic cysts and only 1 percent of pancreatic cancers. Cystic neoplasms include mucinous cystic neoplasms, serous cystadenomas, papillary cystic tumors, cystic islet cell tumors and intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms of the pancreas （IPMNs）. IPMN was first described in 1982. It has been most commonly described in 60 to 70 years old males, and represents a relatively ＂new＂ but increasingly recognized disease. The improvement and widespread use of modern imaging equipments and heightened awareness of physicians contribute to the increasing incidence of IPMN. The majority of IPMNs are located in the pancreatic head （75%） while the rest involves the body/tail regions. Multifocal IPMNs have been hypothesized, but the true presence of multifocality is unknown. Here we present a 72-year- old male diagnosed with IPMN （carcinoma in situ） in the pancreatic head and a branch duct type IPMN （duct atypia） in the pancreatic body and tail. The patient underwent a Whipple intervention and a distal pancreatectomy. A three-year disease-free survival has been observed so far.     

Intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms of the pancreas--a surgical disease

Cystic pancreatic neoplasms are increasingly recognized, with intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms of the pancreas (IPMNs) being the most frequently observed type. IPMNs are characterized by mucin production and epithelial growth within the pancreatic ducts, and are generally differentiated according to location: main pancreatic duct, its major side branches, or both (mixed type). IPMNs vary from benign to malignant and are considered precursor lesions of pancreatic adenocarcinoma. However, the exact time to neoplastic transformation and whether all IPMNs progress to malignant tumors is unclear. Surgical resection is warranted for all main-duct and mixed-type IPMNs (they harbor a high risk of malignancy of ~70%). By contrast, branch-duct IPMNs progress to cancer in only ~30% of cases. Thus, according to current guidelines (Sendai criteria), asymptomatic side-branch IPMNs <3 cm in size without suspicious radiological features (such as size progression) can be treated conservatively. Lately, even this approach has become controversial, owing to a number of Sendai-negative IPMNs showing malignant transformation. Although most IPMNs should be resected by standard oncological procedures (including lymphadenectomy), small Sendai-negative IPMNs can be treated with limited resections. This Review summarizes current knowledge of the treatment of IPMNs, with a particular focus on surgical approaches to this disease.     

Laparoscopic resection of synchronous intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms: A case report

We describe herein a 68-year-old woman who was diagnosed with a quite rare entity of intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms (IPMNs) occurring simultaneously in the left lateral lobe of liver and the tail of pancreas. Abdominal computed tomography and magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography showed a cystic dilatation of the pancreatic duct in the pancreatic tail, which suggested an IPMN, and multiple intrahepatic duct stones in the left lateral lobe. The patient underwent a laparoscopic left lateral hepatolobectomy and spleen-preserving distal pancreatectomy. Intra-operative finding of massive mucin in the dilated bile duct implied an intraductal mucinous tumor in the liver. The diagnosis of synchronous IPMNs in the liver and pancreas was confirmed by pathological examination. The patient was followed up for 6 mo without signs of recurrence. Although several cases of IPMN of liver without any pancreatic association have been reported, the simultaneous occurrence of IPMNs in the liver and pancreas is very rare. To the best of our knowledge, it is the first reported case treated by laparoscopic resection.     

A case of intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms after recurrent acute pancreatitis

We report a case of main pancreatic duct (MPD)-type intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms of the pancreas (IPMNs), in whom diagnostic imaging modalities showed abnormal findings after 4 episodes of acute pancreatitis. The patient was 51 years old at his first admission for acute pancreatitis. He experienced two more episodes of acute pancreatitis, though repeated computed tomography (CT) and endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) showed no abnormality to explain the cause of the pancreatitis. After 3? years from his first episode of pancreatitis, CT and endoscopic ultrasonography revealed pancreatic duct dilation of the pancreas head. Seven years after the first admission, a second ERCP and intraductal ultrasonography revealed a partially dilated MPD with papillary tumors. He underwent pancreaticoduodenectomy, and the pathological diagnosis was intraductal papillary mucinous adenoma with moderate atypia. This case suggests that acute pancreatitis can precede visualized IPMNs. Therefore, acute recurrent pancreatitis with unknown etiology should be followed up for the possibility of IPMNs, in order to detect neoplastic changes in the early stage to provide a better prognosis for the patient.     

Optimal management of the branch duct type intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms of the pancreas

GOALS: To determine the optimal management of the intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms (IPMNs) according to the morphologic type based on distinguishing between benign and malignant diseases. BACKGROUNDS: IPMNs are increasingly recognized clinicopathologic entity. Extended pancreatic resection with radical lymph node dissection has been recommended for treatment. STUDY: A retrospective clinicopathologic study was carried out of the 57 cases with IPMNs who were treated between 1985 and 2001. Forty-three patients with IPMNs underwent resection, and 14 patients with small IPMNs were observed without resection. RESULTS: Among the 43 resected IPMNs, 25 were benign and 18 were malignant. Malignant tumors were significantly greater in diameter than benign tumors (52.9 vs. 30.2 mm, P< 0.05). All main duct type tumors with mural nodules were malignant. All branch duct type tumors less than 30 mm in diameter and without mural nodules were benign. Twelve branch duct type IPMNs size less than 30 mm were not resected and have not progressed. CONCLUSION: These results suggest that the branch duct type IPMNs less than 30 mm and without mural nodules is benign and might be treatable with limited resection or careful observation.     

Concomitant pancreatic adenocarcinoma in a patient with branch-duct intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm

Branch duct intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms (BD-IPMN) are pre-malignant pancreatic cystic lesions which carry a small risk of malignant transformation within the cyst. Guidelines exist with respect to surveillance of the cysts using computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, and/or endoscopic ultrasound (EUS). There are reports that patients with IPMNs are at increased risk of developing pancreatic adenocarcinoma, which arises in an area separate to the IPMNs. We present two cases of pancreatic adenocarcinoma arising within the parenchyma, distinct from the IPMN-associated cyst, identified with EUS. This case report highlights that patients with BD-IPMN are at increased risk for pancreatic adenocarcinoma separate from the cyst and also the importance for endosonographers to carefully survey the rest of the pancreatic parenchyma separate from the cyst in order to identify small pancreatic adenocarcinomas.     

Resektion zystischer Pankreastumoren

Cystic tumors of the pancreas are diagnosed increasingly more due to increasing life expectancy and the moderate use of modern radiological diagnostics. Intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms of the pancreas (IPMN), mucinous cystic neoplasms (MCN), solid pseudopapillary neoplasms (SPN) and serous cystic neoplasms (SCN) represent over 90?% of all cystic neoplasms of the pancreas. Although serous cystic lesions have a low or even no potential for malignant transformation, they are mostly resected when symptomatic. In contrast, mucinous lesions have an increased malignant potential and should therefore be resected in almost all cases. While this is true for all cases of MCNs and SPNs this is controversial for all IPMNs as they show a wide spectrum of morphological variants. The IPMNs may arise in the main pancreatic duct, major side branches or in both (mixed type). Although all IPMNs are considered to be precursor lesions to pancreatic adenocarcinomas it is not clear what the time course of such potential neoplastic transformation might be and whether all lesions progress to malignant tumors. As no currently used diagnostic test can reliably differentiate between benign and malignant tumors, the majority of newly diagnosed IPMNs should undergo surgical resection. According to current treatment guidelines (Sendai criteria), asymptomatic side branch IPMNs of less than 3 cm in diameter without suspicious radiological features, such as nodules, thickness of the cystic wall or size progression can be treated conservatively without the need for surgical resection. Recently, this approach has become controversial due to a relevant number of IPMNs reported as Sendai negative that showed malignant transformation on final histological examination.     

Management of intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm of the pancreas

Intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm (IPMN) of the pancreas is a distinct entity characterized by papillary proliferations of mucin-producing epithelial cells with excessive mucus production and cystic dilatation of the pancreatic ducts. IPMNs have malignant potential and exhibit a broad histologic spectrum, ranging from adenoma to invasive carcinoma. IPMNs are classified into main duct and branch duct types, based on the site of tumor involvement. IPMN patients have a favorable prognosis if appropriately treated. The postoperative 5-year survival rate is nearly 100% for benign tumors and noninvasive carcinoma, and approximately 60% for invasive carcinoma. A main duct type IPMN should be resected. Surgical treatment is indicated for a branch duct IPMN with suspected malignancy (tumor diameter ≥ 30 mm, mural nodules, dilated main pancreatic duct, or positive cytology) or positive symptoms. Malignant IPMNs necessitate lymph node dissection (D1). IPMNs are associated with a high incidence of extrapancreatic malignancies and pancreatic ductal carcinoma.
