Abstract

Intraductal mucin-producing tumors of the pancreas are rare, recently described tumors; they have a better prognosis than usual ductal carcinomas of the pancreas. We report two cases of villous tumor of the main pancreatic duct and one case of mucinous ductal ectasia, with histochemical and immunohistochemical study.
