RESUMO
BACKGROUND: Intra ductal papillary mucinous tumors of pancreas are rare and are characterized by a risk of malignant transformation. AIM: To clarify their clinical presentation and the performance of different imaging examinations to determine their benign or malignant and achieve their staging. CASES: We report three cases of degenerate intra ductal papillary mucinous tumors of pancreas. The combination of CT, the pancreato- MRI and duodenoscopy has led to the diagnosis in all cases. A pancreaticoduodenectomy were performed in two cases. CONCLUSION: The various imaging techniques allow better detection and analysis of the tumor including the evaluation criteria of degeneration. The treatment of these lesions is still surgery.
