INTRODUCTION: The intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms (IPMNs) are increasingly diagnosed entities with high potential of malignancy and significant recurrence rates. PRESENTATION OF CASE: In this case report a rare mixed IPMN with full invasion of the pancreatic ducts was identified. DISCUSSION: Difficulties in determining the grade of pancreatic duct involvement make the surgical management tough. CONCLUSION: In multifocal IPMNs the management of the patients is even more challenging. In this case the patient was treated successfully with total pancreatectomy.
