Intraductal Papillary Mucinous Neoplasm with Pancreatogastric Fistula

We herein report a rare case of intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm with a pancreatogastric fistula in an elderly Japanese man admitted to our hospital. The pancreatogastric fistula was confirmed using endoscopic retrograde pancreatography via a cannulated guidewire placed in the stomach. Six months after admission, the patient was diagnosed with intraductal papillary mucinous carcinoma. A pancreatogastric fistula is generally a rare complication of intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm. It was caused by mechanical penetration in this case. Interestingly, we also observed endoscopic and histochemical mucosal changes in the fistula.
