Pancreatic cancer is the fourth cause of death related to malignant tumors in Argentina. The Adenocarcinoma is the most frequent histological type, being able to originate from a precursor lesion, such as intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms. The objective was to describe a case of surgical treatment of pancreatic adenocarcinoma and concomitant Intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm in an 80-year-old male patient. This association represents an infrequent case that has less loco-regional commitment, better global survival and, therefore, better prognosis than primary adenocarcinomas.
