Intraductal papillary-mucinous tumors of the pancreas are characterized by malignant transformation of unpredictable occurrence because of their unknown natural history. Surgical treatment is duodenopancreatectomy or left pancreatectomy even for benign tumors. We report 2 cases of benign intraductal papillary-mucinous tumor confined to the head of the pancreas and treated by enucleation.

Intraductal papillary-mucinous tumors of the pancreas are characterized by malignant transformation of unpredictable occurrence because of their unknown natural history. Surgical treatment is duodenopancreatectomy or left pancreatectomy even for benign tumors. We report 2 cases of benign intraductal papillary-mucinous tumor confined to the head of the pancreas and treated by enucleation.File in questo prodotto:
