Pancreaticogastric Fistula Due to Infiltration of a Mixed Type Intrapapillary Mucinous Neoplasia of the Pancreas.

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.
