Introduction: The term "intracystic papillary ductal carcinoma in situ" has recently changed and is now more appropriately referred to "intracystic papillary carcinoma". Intracystic papillary carcinoma in men is an extremely rare disease with only a few case presentations published in the literature so far.
Case Presentation: We discuss a case of a 44-year-old Caucasian man with an intracystic papillary carcinoma treated with simple mastectomy, sentinel lymph-node biopsy and contralateral risk-reducing mastectomy. These were followed by adjuvant radiotherapy of the breast.
Conclusion: Triple assessment (i.e. clinical examination and radiological and histological assessment) with a high level of clinical suspicion is necessary to diagnose intracystic papillary carcinoma in men due to its rarity. Furthermore, genetic testing and risk-reducing mastectomy should also be considered in cases of a strong family history for male breast cancer.

Intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms (IPMNs) are a very common incidental finding during patient radiological assessment. These lesions may progress from low-grade dysplasia (LGD) to high-grade dysplasia (HGD) and even pancreatic cancer. The IPMN progression risk grows with time, so discontinuation of surveillance is not recommended.

Although various complications associated with intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms have been reported, including acute pancreatitis, duct perforation, and fistula formation, spontaneous bleeding, especially life-threatening bleeding, is infrequent. In this case, emergency pancreatic resection might be one of the therapeutic options, which is associated with poor postoperative outcomes. An 87-year-old woman presented to our hospital with severe anemia (hemoglobin, 4.

Background: Most ovarian tumors exhibit a pure histological characteristic. Nevertheless, a combination of tumors with the same histogenetic origin but different histologic subtypes is relatively common. Additionally, co-occurrence of tumors with different histogenetic origins is very rare.

- The new Kyoto guidelines offer evidence-based recommendations for diagnosing and treating intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm (IPMN), emphasizing the role of endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS).
- EUS is a high-resolution diagnostic tool that allows for detailed imaging and the collection of cyst fluid or tissue samples, making it essential for pancreatic disease diagnosis.
- Recent studies show that EUS has over 90% sensitivity for detecting mural nodules, making it at least as effective as other imaging methods, while also highlighting the need for skilled endoscopists to ensure objective results.
