Pancreatic intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm with invasive carcinoma and uterine metastasis: a case report.

Intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm (IPMN) with invasive carcinoma is a rare type of pancreatic cancer that has a better prognosis than classic pancreatic infiltrating ductal carcinoma. Most distant metastases occur in the lymph nodes, lungs, liver, and bones at advanced stages. We report a rare case of an IPMN with invasive carcinoma that metastasized to the uterus, resulting in long-term survival after debulking surgery combined with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy on a systemic treatment basis. This rare case highlights the need for oncologists and gynecologists to be vigilant regarding these uncommon metastatic diseases and exercise caution in diagnosis. Comprehensive treatments, including debulking surgery, may improve survival.
