Abstract

Background

A 68-year-old asymptomatic patient was incidentally diagnosed with an intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasia (IPMN) of the pancreas with a pancreaticogastric fistula. He had a history of a right sided nephrectomy due to a renal cell carcinoma 9 years before. The patient underwent an uneventful total pancreatectomy and wedge resection of the stomach.

Methods

The patient’s medical history was studied and compared to recent literature via PubMed.

Results

Pathohistological evaluation confirmed a mixed type IPMN of an intestinal subtype with pancreaticogastric fistula.

Conclusion

Pancreaticogastric fistula due to benign IPMN is extremely rare. Surgical resection including wedge resection of the stomach is the treatment of choice.
