[The Laparoscopic Enucleation for Branch Duct Type Intraductal Papillary Mucinous Neoplasms Located at the Body of Pancreas: A Case Report].

Introduction: Intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms (IPMN) are among the most common cystic neoplasms of the pancreas, but they represent only 1-3% of all exocrine pancreas tumors.
