Objective To summarize clinical features, imaging findings, and pathological characteristics of pancreas intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm (IPMN) and to improve effect of clinical diagnosis and treatment of pancreas IPMN.Method The clinical data of 45 patients with pancreas IPMN who underwent surgical resection from February 2014 to February 2019 in the First Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University were retrospectively analyzed.Results Of the 45 patients with pancreas IPMN, 28 patients were male and 17 patients were female, aged from 44 to 81 years old with (65±21) years old. There were 35 patients with age > 60 years old. The most common clinical manifestation was the upper abdominal discomfort (26 patients) and the lesions mainly occurred in the head of pancreas (20 patients). Twenty-four (58.5%, 24/41) patients and 17 (81.0%, 17/21) patients were definitely diagnosed by the CT and MRI, respectively. Twenty-five patients underwent the pancreaticoduodenectomy, 5 patients underwent the partial pancreatectomy, 2 patient underwent the pancreatic tumor resection, 12 patients underwent the pancreatic body and tail resection, 1 patient underwent the total pancreatectomy. The pathological findings showed that 15 cases were mild dysplasia, 5 cases were moderate dysplasia, 3 cases were severe dysplasia. Six cases invaded the pancreas and its surrounding adipose tissue, 5 cases invaded the tissue outside the pancreas. After the discharge, 28/32 patients were followed up for 3 to 24 months. Among all the followed-up patients, the 1-year survival rate was 100% (28/28) and the 2-year survival rate was 96.4% (27/28). The patients underwent the CT examination on the 3rd, 6th, 12th,18th, and 24th month, no lymph node metastasis was found.Conclusions Pancreas IPMN is more common in the elderly, mainly manifests as gastrointestinal symptoms, such as upper abdominal discomfort, etc. Surgery is its main treatment mean. Preoperative diagnosis mainly depends on CT examination and MRI examination, but positive rate of MRI examination is higher. Postoperative pathological section shows different degree of dysplasia.
