Abstract:
Objective: To investigate the CT and MRI findings of solid-pseudopapillary tumors of the pancreas(SPTP),and to improve the diagnosis of the disease.Methods: Three female SPTP patients received CT examination,1 of them underwent MRI in addition,and all the cases were surgically and pathologically confirmed later.Results: CT images revealed huge solid-cystic mass in the pancreas of the 3 patients,1 with calcification in the mass and all without dilation of the bile duct.MRI exhibited mixed signal intensity on T1WI and T2WI.Both CT and MRI showed obvious enhancement of the cystic wall and the solid part of the mass.Conclusion: SPTP has its characteristic imaging manifestations,which may contribute a lot to the diagnosis of the disease.
