Core Tip
Core tip: Intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm (IPMN) is a precursor lesion of pancreatic cancer. Although pancreatic cancer is one of the malignancies associated with hereditary non-polyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC), only one case has been reported IPMN in a HNPCC patient. We report a first case of IPMN arising in heterotopic pancreas in a patient of HNPCC.
