Abstract:
Objective To investigate the CT and MRI findings of solid-cystic papillary epithelial neoplasm of pancreas, and to improve the diagnosis ability of the disease. Methods CT was performed in all 3 patients with solid-cystic papillary epithelial neoplasm of pancreas proved surgically and pathologically. Of all 3 patients, plain and dynamic enhanced MRI was performed in 1 patient. Both clinical characteristics and CT and MRI findings were analyzed retrospectively. Results All 3 patients were young female without jaundice and were found to have giant solid-cystic mass in the head of pancreas. In 1 of 3 patients, calcification was found in the mass on CT scan. One patient was found to have mild pancreatic duct dilation. No intrahepatic and extrahepatic bile duct dilation was showed in 3 patients. MRI findings in one patient demonstrated mixed signal intensity on T 1WI and T 2WI. On enhanced CT and MRI, the wall of cyst and solid portions of the mass showed obvious enhancement. Conclusion CT and MRI findings of solid-cystic papillary epithelial neoplasm of pancreas are characteristic, and the disease can be preoperatively diagnosed combined with the clinical feature.
