Concomitant Intraductal Papillary Mucinous Neoplasms and Neuroendocrine Tumors of the Pancreas: More than just a Coincidence?

#1930

Introduction: Intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms (IPMNs) and pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (pNETs) are rare tumors. Up to now 14 patients with association of endocrine and exocrine neoplasms of the pancreas have been reported in literature: this association is not expected to be frequent

Aim(s): We looked for any common findings between these two entities that could help early recognition and further comprehension of this association

Materials and methods: 6 patients in our clinic suffer from IPMN and concomitant pNET. We collected data about the patients (age, sex, symptoms, medical history, blood chemistry, type of imaging) and about the lesions (classification, dimension, localization, imaging features, fine-needle aspiration (FNA) biopsies results and histology)
