[An Intraductal Papillary Mucinous Neoplasm of the Pancreas with Metachronous Quadruple Cancers].
Gan to Kagaku Ryoho. Cancer & Chemotherapy 2023 December
The patient described herein was diagnosed with left breast, endometrial, and early gastric cancers at 49, 53, and 57 years of age, respectively. Magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography performed when she was undergoing treatment for cholecystitis at 50 years of age showed local pancreatic duct dilatation in the pancreatic head. She was followed in the Department of Gastroenterology at our hospital for an intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm(IPMN). An abdominal computed tomography scan obtained at 59 years of age revealed dilation of the main pancreatic duct in the pancreas body and tail, therefore an endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine needle aspiration was performed. She was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and underwent a laparoscopic distal pancreatectomy. The postoperative course was uneventful; however, the pancreatic cancer recurred and she died approximately 14 months postoperatively. Reports of multiple cancers associated with IPMNs are rare, yet we managed a patient with a pancreatic head IPMN complicated by metachronous quadruple carcinomas( breast, endometrial, gastric, and pancreatic cancers).
