G. Sciaudone et al., Enucleation of intraductal papillary-mucinous tumor of the head of the pancreas. Report of 2 cases, GASTRO CL B, 24(1), 2000, pp. 121-124
Intraductal papillary-mucinous tumors of the pancreas are characterized by
malignant transformation of unpredictable occurrence because of their unkno
wn natural history. Surgical treatment is duodenopancreatectomy or left pan
createctomy 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.
