[Papillary adenocarcinoma of Wirsung's duct].

Abstract

We describe a new case of ductal papillary adenocarcinoma of the pancreas, resected in 1976 (cephalic pancreatoduodenectomy). The patient is still alive. This particular histological type of pancreatic cancer seems to be very rare (9 cases published). The difficulty of preoperative diagnosis and the possibility of long-term postoperative survival clearly differentiate ductal papillary adenocarcinoma from other glandular adenocarcinomas of the pancreas.
