Abstract
A 69-year-old woman with a family history of pancreatic cancer was referred because of imaging changes of a pancreas cyst. Magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography showed a faintly dilated main pancreatic duct and a pancreas body cyst that had changed rapidly over the past year. Computed tomography demonstrated an emerging enhancing lesion in the pancreatic cyst. Endoscopic ultrasonography revealed an irregular-margined, heterogeneous-echoic pancreatic mass, without findings of early chronic pancreatitis. She underwent distal pancreatectomy. A histologic examination of the resected specimen revealed invasive adenocarcinoma with numerous multicentric foci of pancreatic intraepithelial neoplasia (PanIN), including high-grade PanIN, apparently separate from the main cancer.
