A woman in her 70s with main pancreatic duct dilatation was referred to our hospital. Various imaging examinations showed an extensive mass within the lumen of the main pancreatic duct in the head and body of the pancreas. The microscopic examination of a biopsy specimen revealed an adenocarcinoma. She was diagnosed with intraductal tubulopapillary adenocarcinoma of the pancreas;a pylorus-preserving total pancreatectomy was subsequently performed. However, 30 days after surgery, the patient presented with neck pain and left upper arm numbness. Results of magnetic resonance imaging and bone scintigraphy revealed a cervical spinal tumor that was subsequently biopsied. The patient was diagnosed with intraductal tubulopapillary adenocarcinoma with bone metastasis.
