Pancreatic surgeries are usually performed for inflammatory conditions and neoplasms. Intraductal Papillary Mucinous Neoplasm (IPMN) account for approximately 5-7% of all pancreatic neoplasms in western literature. To the best of our knowledge, there has been no published literature in Indian subcontinent on IPMN.
