title: [Pancreatic ductal carcinoma concomitant with intraductal papillaly mucinous neoplasm].
abstract: IPMN is a slow-growing tumor and has a good prognosis, but is very often associated with a high incidence of pancreatic ductalcarcinoma(DC). Unlike IPMN, DC progresses rapidly, and has a poor prognosis. However, DC concomitant with IPMN has a better prognosis than DC without IPMN. The reason for the good prognosis of the former is undetermined, but perhaps it is the early detection of DC or its not so malignant behavior. It is important to thoroughly examine the entire pancreas for the potentialco -occurrence of DC in patients with IPMN.
