Objective  To summarize the diagnosis and surgical treatment experience of pancreatic ductal stones combined with pancreatic cancer. Methods  Nine cases of pancreatic ductal stones combined with pancreatic cancer who treated in our hospital from January 2005 to December 2015 were collected to make a retrospective analysis, summarizing the clinical features, imaging diagnosis, and surgical treatment. Results  Four of 9 cases received ultrasound combined with CT angiography, and all of them were diagnosed as pancreatic ductal stones combined with pancreatic cancer; 4 cases received magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP)/magnetic resonance angiography (MRA), and 3 cases were considered as pancreatic ductal stones combined with pancreatic cancer; 3 cases received endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP), and all of them were diagnosed as pancreatic cancer. All of the 9 cases underwent surgery, including 4 cases of pancreaticoduodenectomy, 3 cases of distal pancreatectomy with splenectomy, 1 case of pancreatolithotomy plus distal pancreaticojejunostomy, and 1 case of laparoscopic exploration with biopsy. No one died after surgery, but gastric stress ulcer bleeding happened in 1 case, and class B pancreatic fistula happened in 1 case. All of the 9 cases were followed-up for 5-36 months, with the median were 13 months. Seven cases died during follow up period, 5 cases survived longer than 1 year, and 2 cases survived longer than 3 years. Conclusions  For patients with recurrent pancreatic stones, we should be wary of the possibility of combining pancreatic cancer, CT and MRCP can be used as further examination of this disease, a variety of imaging methods combination can improve the diagnosis. If imaging examination reveals swollen pancreas without surgical contraindications, surgery is necessary, and standard pancreaticoduodenectomy or pancreas body and tail resection is recommended.
