Joint Hospital Grand Round Topic: Intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm (IPMN) of Pancreas Dr. Chui Lap Bun Prince of Wales Hospital 16th January, 2010
Introduction • More pancreatic cystic lesions are being detected . • Evolution from small benign cystic neoplasms may be very slow and some had high malignant potential and therefore allow selective treatment according to morphological characteristics.
Intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm (IPMN) • First described in 1982, it is characterized by papillary proliferation of mucin-producing epithelial cells with excessive mucus production and cystic dilatation of main or branch pancreatic ducts. • Two-third of IPMN are men. • Peak age : 60- 70
Intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm (IPMN) • Main duct type: – characterised by marked dilatation of the MPD, diffuse or segmental. Together with atrophy of the pancreas. • Branch duct type – Multi- focal cysts in clusters with mild or no dilatation of MPD.
CT Branch duct IPMN
Investigation • CT scan • MRI + MRCP • ERCP- mucin protruding from a widely open papilla. • EUS- Detect communication with pancreatic duct and detect mural nodules. Sample cystic fluid and biopsy • Cyst fluid for cytology, amylase, mucin and CEA
Indication for surgery • International Consensus guideline for Management of IPMN and MCN of Pancreas [Pancreatology 2006; 6: 17-32] • Main duct and mixed variant IPMN Resection • Branch-duct IPMN 1. symptomatic (30% malignancy), 2. > 3cm in size 3. mural nodules
Extent of surgery • For invasive IPMN, recurrence after partial pancreatectomy vs total pancreatectomy 67% vs 62% suggested no oncologic advantage of total pancreatecomy. [ Study of recurrence after surgical resection of IPMN of the pancreas. Gastroenterology. 2002 Nov; 123(5): 1500-7 ] • The extent of pancreatic resection remain controversial.
Extent of surgery • Risk of recurrence Vs. the morbidity of total pancreatectomy. • Routine total pancreatectomy for IPMN is not recommended. • Total pancreatectomy should only be reserved for patients with resectable but extensive IPMN which involves the whole pancreas.
Frozen section • Microscopic extension of neoplastic cells beyond visible boundaries of the main lesion is common. • IPMNs can be multifocal and the margin frequently involved at the time of resection • Positive Margin (LD, MD, HD, invasive) Resect more??
Frozen section • Clinical Significance of Frozen Section Analysis During Resection of Intraductal Papillary Mucinous Neoplasm: Should a Positive Pancreatic Margin for Adenoma or Borderline Lesion Be Resected Additionally? [J. Am Coll Surg 2009; 209:614-621 • IPMN with CIS or invasive carcinoma: complete resection if possible. • IPM adenoma or borderline lesion: might not need further resection

Follow up plan • Slow growing • Residual tumour may develop into carcinoma • New IPMN arise from ramnant • Time of recurrence ranged from 8-62 months Need regular FU imaging
Synchronous and metachronous malignancy • 23.6 – 32% IPMNs associated with extrapancreatic malignant neoplasm, including gastric, biliary, colorectal and lung malignancy. [ Yamaguchi et, al. Osanai et al., Augiyama et al.] • Mayo clinic: IPMN patients with more benign and malignant neoplasms compared with controls– screening colonoscopy should be considered in all patients with IPMN. [Ann Surg 2010; 251: 64-69]
Conclusion • IPMN of the pancreas is uncommon but important because it is slow growing with significant malignant potential. • Main duct type should be resected. • Branch duct type with tumour > 3cm, mural nodule or positive symptoms warrants surgical resection. • High incidence of extrapancreatic malignancies and pancreatic ductal carcinoma.
