Summary:We report a case of intraductal papillary mucinous carcinoma (IPMC) with high fluorodeoxyglucose uptake in the thickened cystic wall. We diagnosed branched intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm (IPMN) in a 60-year-old man by CT examination. A half year later, significant thickening wall of the IPMN cyst was recognized on CT. According to the FDG-PET finding high fluorodeoxyglucose uptake agreed with the thickened cystic wall. Since the tumor was diagnosed as IPMC, pancreatoduodenectomy was performed. The pathological diagnosis was IPMC with minimal invasion, because of lining by the atypical epithelium cell of the cyst wall. Malignant tumor cells were found in parts of the thickened wall, and inflammatory cell infiltration with mainly lymphocytes in the other most parts. High FDG-PET fluorodeoxyglucose uptake was suspected at the thickened wall with inflammation.
