Resumo
Intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm (IPMN) is an epithelial tumor of mucin-producing cells arising in the main pancreatic duct or its branches. Many cases are detected incidentally during the evaluation for other conditions or due to nonspecific symptoms. The early diagnosis of IPMN is important because it is a premalignant lesion with risk of progression to invasive carcinoma. Here we report a case of main-duct IPMN in a 79-year-old woman. We also describe the main problems for the diagnosis of this lesion, as well as the criteria that determine the therapeutic approach
