Abstract
Acute pancreatitis (AP) is a common presenting symptom of intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms (IPMN). Our objective was to evaluate the clinical and pathologic features of IPMN that present with AP. We hypothesized that the intestinal epithelial subtype, which produces a highly viscous mucin containing MUC2 glycoprotein, is associated with the development of AP.We performed a case-control study, evaluating 325 patients with IPMN resected at...
