Popis:	Pancreas divisum (PD) is a common congenital anomaly of the pancreas, which results from an abnormal fusion between the ventral and dorsal pancreatic ducts during fetal development. Association with Intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm (IPMN) is extremely rare. The treatment of this entity will depend both on the malignant potential of IPMN and on the symptoms related to pancreas divisum. We report a rare case of Intraductal papillary mucinous carcinoma of the pancreas associated with pancreas divisum, one of the most difficult situations which the surgeon can be confronted to in his practice.
