Abstract:
Objective To analyze the clinical and magnetic resonance imaging(MRI)findings of solid pseudopapillary tumor(SPT)of the pancreas in male patients. Methods Clinical and MRI features of 51 patients with pathologically-proved SPT were retrospectively analyzed.The following MRI features of the lesions were analyzed:location,maximal diameter,shape,margin,capsule,solid and cystic components,signal intensity characteristics,and enhancement patterns.Results The average maximal diameter of the SPT in male patients was significantly smaller [(3.9±1.6)cm vs.(6.3±3.9)cm,P=0.035]than that of SPT in female patients.Pure solid tumors were signiciantly more common in male patients(8/14)than in female patients(9/37)(P=0.037).T-weighted images of SPT showed mainly homogenous hypo-intensity in male patients(11/14)and heterogeneous hypo-intensity in female patients(23/37)(P=0.001).Hemorrhage was more prevalent in female patients(22/37)than in male patients(2/14)(P=0.005).There were no significant differences between male and female patients regarding clinical features and other magnetic resonance features(P>0.05).Conclusions On MRI,SPT in male patients is small and shows mainly pure solid component with rare hemorrhage.The clinical and other MRI features of SPT are not different between males and females.
