Abstract

Most pancreatic cystic neoplasms are detected incidentally. The major challenge is identifying lesions with malignant potential or signs of malignancy. Intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms are classified as main duct-type or branch duct-type or mixed type. Many patients with intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm (IPMN) have no symptoms. Some patients have pancreatitis-like symptoms and elevated pancreatic enzymes. Resection is typically recommended for IPMNs with high-grade dysplasia, IPMNs that have progressed to invasive carcinoma, and IPMNs with features concerning for malignancy or that are at high risk for developing malignancy. A 81-year-old male visited emergency room because of abdomen pain. He was diagnosed as IPMN with acute pancreatitis. We treated pancreatitis using endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography, and then he was discharged successfully.
