Intraductal papillary tumor of the pancreas typically produces large amounts of mucin
and is commonly termed intraductal papillary mucinous tumor. This is a report of a
rare case of nonmucin-producing intraductal papillary tumor of the pancreas in a young
woman. Although mucin production is not evident macroscopically, such tumors may exhibit
histologic evidence of mucin production, but this also was lacking in this case. Intraductal
papillary tumor of the pancreas without microscopic evidence of mucin production is
extremely rare and even more unusual in a young patient.
