The Distribution and Predictive Factor of Extra-Pancreatic Malignancy Occurrence in Patients with Pancreatic Intraductal Papillary Mucinous Neoplasm-A Ten-Year Follow-Up Case-Control Study in Taiwan.

ABSTRACT:

Background and aims

A higher incidence of extra-pancreatic malignancies (EPMs) in patients with pancreatic intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm (IPMN) than in the general population has been shown in several studies. We suppose that EPMs also occur after IPMN has been diagnosed, but few reports have discussed the risk factors that have been identified, except for old age, which was only noted in one study. Our study aims to recognize the distribution of EPMs in Taiwanese patients with a longer duration of follow-up and investigate the risk factors to predict EPMs in IPMN patients.

Methods

We retrospectively analyzed 114 patients with pancreatic IPMN from 1 January 2010 to 31 December 2014 in Chang Gung Memorial Hospital. The characteristics of the patients were all record
