Abstract:

Background: Pancreatitis can be associated with main-pancreatic duct (MPD) IPMN. This is thought to be related to intermittent obstruction of the MPD with viscous mucin. However, the relationship between pancreatitis and SB-IPMN is not as well described and thus not often considered in the diagnosis of acute or recurrent pancreatitis. On radiologic imaging, SB-IPMN may be mistaken as pseudocysts, masking the etiology of pancreatitis in some cases. Aim: Determine the characteristics of patients with SB-IPMN who presented for endoscopy and their relationship to pancreatitis.
