Fistula as a complication of pancreatic intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms (IPMN) is rare and may involve different adjacent organs, sometimes, several organs at the same time. Our patient had a pancreatico-gastric fistula, discovered at work-up for IPMN, which required extensive surgery.

Introduction: An intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm (IPMN) is a potentially malignant cystic tumor that is characterized by an excessive papillary proliferation of mucin-producing epithelial cells. The IPMN usually exhibits different degrees of dysplasia and is accompanied by cystic dilation of the main pancreatic duct (MPD) or side branch. We report a case of an IPMN that has penetrated the stomach and has differentiated into an adenocarcinoma.

Background/aim: There have been several attempts to prevent the development of a postoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF) after distal pancreatectomy (DP); however, there is no established method yet. In the present study, we investigated whether POPF can be prevented using pancreaticoenterostomy with seromuscular-parenchymal anastomosis.
Patients And Methods: We evaluated the incidence of POPF and complications in 20 patients who underwent DP since August 2014, wherein pancreaticoenterostomy with seromuscular-parenchymal anastomosis was performed.
