Abstract
Intraductal tubulopapillary neoplasm (ITPN) is a rare type of pancreatic epithelial neoplasm. We report 2 cases of ITPN and detail the imaging findings.
The 1st case was a 36-year-old woman who complained of jaundice, yellow urine and diarrhea. She accepted ultrasound, computed tomography (CT), and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) examination before surgery, which all revealed a mass in the pancreatic head. The 2nd case was a 62-year-old woman who was admitted to our hospital for the treatment of a pancreatic tumor. The MRI showed a mass filled the mian pancreatic duct in the head and neck.
The ITPN is an intraductal, grossly visible, tubule-forming epithelial neoplasm with high-grade dysplasia and ductal differentiation without overt mucin production.
The 1st patient received percutaneous transhepatic cholangial drainage procedure, endoscopic ultrasound guided fine needle aspiration, pancreatoduodenectomy, cholecystectomy, and lymphadenectomy successively. The 2nd patient received pancreaticoduodenectomy, cholecystectomy, and partial gastrectomy.
Two months after surgery, the follow-up MRI revealed hepatic metastasis of the 1st patient. She is still alive now. The 2nd patient was lost to follow-up.
The ITPN is a rare pancreatic neoplasm and its clinical symptoms are atypical. It is difficult to make accurate diagnosis of ITPN before surgery even though various imaging modalities are used in combination. When a solid mass growing in the lumen of the pancreatic duct, ITPN should be taken into consideration.
