Invasive intraductal papillary-mucinous neoplasms (IPMNs) of the pancreas may be associated with pancreaticogastric fistulas as shown by case reports. We report the case of a benign IPMN associated with pancreaticogastric and pancreaticoduodenal fistulas. A 70-year-old woman was admitted with intestinal obstruction. Computed tomography and MRI showed a large dilatation of the main pancreatic duct (>1 cm) with intraductal nodules, and pancreaticogastric and pancreaticoduodenal fistulas. Several features in imaging were present to support a malignant IPMN, so that the patient underwent a pancreaticoduodenectomy. The histopathological examination of the surgical specimen showed a benign IPMN. This case proves that a benign IPMN can cause pancreaticogastric and pancreaticoduodenal fistulas, probably resulting from mechanical factors.
