While earlier research has shown a high prevalence of synchronous/metachronous extrapancreatic tumors in IPMN patients, these studies have often been small with retrospective data collection. The aim of the study was to examine absolute and relative risks of non-pancreatic gastrointestinal (GI) cancer precursors and mortality in histologically confirmed IPMN.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>Through the nationwide ESPRESSO histopathology cohort, we retrieved data on IPMN between 1965 and 2016.
