Intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm of the pancreas in an adult patient with cystic fibrosis after double-lung transplantation

Abstract

We report on an adult patient with cystic fibrosis after double-lung transplantation under triple immunosuppression with non-specific abdominal symptoms and a pancreatic cystic tumor, resulting in the diagnosis of an intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm (IPMN) of the pancreas. Pancreatic cysts in adult patients with cystic fibrosis, especially after transplantation, merit close attention and thorough investigation.
