We experienced a rare case of main duct intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm (MD‐IPMN) without overt mucin production. Histological findings classified the tumor as high‐grade dysplasia of pancreatobiliary‐type IPMN that has been reported to show high malignant potential with a property to disseminate extensively into pancreatic ducts.
