Abstract
Background and Aims: Although there have been several reports showing the high prevalence of extrapancreatic malignant neoplasms in patients with intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm (IPMN) of pancreas, few reports have indicated the prevalence of colorectal neoplasia in patients with IPMN on follow-up. In this study, we performed a case-control study to investigate whether the prevalence of colorectal neoplasia in patients with IPMN is higher compared to that in the control subjects. Patients and Methods: We performed a retrospective chart review analysis on 58 patients with IPMN (mean age 67.5 ± 9.1 years; 64% male; 4 (7%) main duct type, 49 (84%) branch duct type, 4 (7%) mixed type, and 1 (2%) unknown) who underwent colonoscopy at our hospital and its 4 affiliated hospitals between June 1998 and June 2008.
