BACKGROUND:The presence of pancreatic ductal intraepithelial neoplasia in patients with chronic pancreatitis is a risk factor for development of pancreatic adenocarcinoma. METHOD:A case of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma associated with pancreatic ductal intraepithelial neoplasia was diagnosed in the setting of chronic pancreatitis. RESULTS:Distal pancreatectomy combined with splenec- tomy was performed with a diagnosis of pancreatic body carcinoma.Histopathological examination suggested adenocarcinoma associated with pancreatic ductal intraepithelial neoplasia.The tumor was detected in the remaining head of the pancreas,for which a total pancreatectomy was done. CONCLUSIONS:When a patient with pancreatic ductal intraepithelial neoplasia associated with adenocarcinoma of the pancreas in the setting of chronic pancreatitis is at an increased risk of recurrence in the remaining pancreatic parenchyma,total pancreatectomy may be feasible.
