Laparoscopic distal pancreatectomy for hemosuccus pancreaticus due to an intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm.

Hemosuccus pancreaticus (HP) is a condition that is defined as gastrointestinal hemorrhage which occurs through the pancreatic duct. We present the rare case of a 75-year-old woman who developed HP caused by intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm (IPMN). She had been followed for sarcoidosis, splenic artery aneurysm and pancreatic cyst.
