Key points of the international Kyoto guidelines for the management of intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm of the pancreas （2023） / 临床肝胆病杂志

Recently， the International Association of Pancreatology published a revised edition of the guidelines for the management of intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm （IPMN） of the pancreas. The guidelines mainly focus on five topics， i.e.， revision of “high-risk stigmata” and “worrisome features”， surveillance of unresected IPMN， surveillance after resection of IPMN， revision of pathological aspects， and research on molecular markers in cyst fluid， in order to provide the best evidence-based reference for clinical practice. This article makes an excerpt of the key points in the guidelines.

Risk factors and misdiagnosis of intraductal carcinoma of prostate (IDC-P)in patients with metastatic prostate cancer / 中华泌尿外科杂志

Objective:To investigate the risk factors and missed diagnosis of intraductal carcinoma of prostate (IDC-P) in patients with metastatic prostate cancer.Methods:The preoperative PSA, prostate MRI, bone scans and lung CT of all patients who underwent prostate biopsy in Department of Urology, Xiangya Hospital, Central South University from January 2018 to July 2020 were reviewed. A total of 261 patients with high suspicion of metastatic prostate cancer were screened for inclusion. Two full-time senior pathologists of urogenital tumors in Xiangya Hospital independently reviewed their pathological sections and detected IDC-P according to the 2016 WHO tumor classification. Diagnostic criteria are defined as malignant epithelial cells filling large acini and prostatic ducts, with preservation of basal cells and solid or dense cribriform pattern/loose cribriform or micropapillary pattern with either marked nuclear atypia or non-focal comedonecrosis.Results:The detection rate of IDC-P was 29.12%(76/261), while the actual reporting rate was only 9.96%(26/261). The results of subgroup analysis including age, PSA level, Gleason score as well as different metastatic sites showed that detection rate of IDC-P was 33.69% in the PSA≥50 ng/ml subgroup, much higher than 17.57% in the PSA <50 ng/ml subgroup ( P=0.0039); And it was 32.33% in the Gleason score ≥ 8 subgroup, much higher than 3.45% in the Gleason score < 8 subgroup ( P<0.01). It was not significantly different in different age subgroups as well as different metastatic site subgroups. These data suggest that PSA ≥ 50 ng/ml as well as Gleason score ≥ 8 may be risk factors of IDC-P.157 samples were stained by immunohistochemistry. The detection rates of IDC-P were 84.21% (16/19) in P63 (+ ) samples, 36.00% (9/25) in ERG (+ ) samples. There were 3 samples with both P63 (+ ) and ERG (+ ), all of which had IDC-P. Conclusions:There is misdiagnosis of IDC-P on prostate needle biopsy in patients with metastatic prostate cancer currently. PSA ≥ 50 ng/ml and Gleason score ≥ 8 are risk factors of IDC-P. Thus, attention should be paid to the possibility of IDC-P in such patients. When the diagnosis is difficult, immunohistochemical staining for ERG and P63 is helpful in IDC-P determination.

Prognostic factors of intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm of the bile duct: analysis based on SEER database / 中华肝胆外科杂志

Objective:To explore prognostic factors of intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm of the bile duct (IPMN-B) patients.Methods:Clinical data on 227 patients with IPMN-B between 2004 and 2015 were retrospectively collected from the surveillance, epidemiology, and end results (SEER) database. There were 126 male and 101 female patients with the age at diagnosis of 69(58, 77) years old. IPMN-B patients were divided into two groups based on whether surgical treatment was performed. There were 129 patients in the surgery group and 98 patients in the non-surgery group. The survival analyses were assessed by Kaplan-Meier analyses and log-rank test was used to compared survival rate. The univariate and multivariate Cox analyses were applied to find independent prognostic factors of the survival in IPMN-B patients.Results:The tumor size of 227 IPMN-B patients from the SEER database was 25(18.5, 45.0) mm. The differences of tumor size, grade of defferentiation, American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) stage, T stage, M stage chemotherapy were statistically significant respectively in surgery group and non-surgery group (all P<0.05). The median overall survival time (OS) of patients with IPMN-B was 14 months and the overall 1-year survival was 53.4%. The median overall survival time of IPMN-B patients in surgery group was 27 months, which was better than 5 months of patients in non-surgery group, and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.001). Univariate Cox analysis found AJCC stage, T stage, N stage, M stage and surgery were prognostic factors in patients with IPMN-B. Multivariate Cox analysis showed that M1 stage ( HR=2.125, 95% CI: 1.472-3.066, P<0.001) was independent risk factor of prognosis while surgery ( HR=2.983, 95% CI: 2.106-4.224, P<0.001) was independent protective factor of prognosis. Conclusion:The AJCC staging system is an important predictor for evaluating the prognosis of IPMN-B patients. Surgery could significantly improve the prognosis of patients with IPMN-B.

Advances in clinical assessment and decision-making of intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm in pancreas / 中华肝胆外科杂志

Intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm (IPMN) is one of the precancerous lesions of the pancreas. Currently there is controversial over the management and follow-up strategy of IPMN, including the timing of surgery. The core problem lies in the accurate preoperative assessment of the nature of the lesions and the risk of malignant transformation. Cumulation of high-quality evidence and development of efficient evaluation methods are vital for the establishment of standardized decision-making system and the improvement of clinical benefits to patients. This review aims to summarize the consensus and controversies on surgical evaluation standards in the latest guidelines and representative literatures, and to look forward to the development direction of IPMN diagnosis and treatment decisions in combination with the progress of related evaluation techniques.

Clinical and pathological features of intraductal tubulopapillary neoplasms / 中华肝胆外科杂志

Objective:To investigate the clinical and pathological features and improve the acknowledgement of intraductal tubulopapillary neoplasm (ITPN) of pancreas.Methods:Six cases with ITPN in the Shandong Provincial Hospital Affiliated to Shandong First Medical University combined with 40 cases from PubMed and CNKI were retrospectively analyzed. There were 25 males and 21 females, aged (58.6±16.0) years. The clinical manifestations, pathological features, treatment and so on were analyzed.Results:All cases were treated with surgery. The main clinical symptoms were upper abdominal pain and discomfort (23 cases, 50.0%), followed by jaundice (9 cases, 19.6%). Seven cases (15.2%) had no clinical symptoms. Three cases (6.5%) had low back discomfort, chills and other rare symptoms, and 4 cases (8.7%) had no clinical symptoms mentioned in the literature. Tumors of 27 cases (58.7%) located in the head of the pancreas, 9 cases (19.6%) in the body and tail, 4 cases (8.7%) in the whole pancreas, 3 cases (6.5%) in the body, 2 cases (4.3%) in ampulla and 1 case (2.2%) in head and body. Most of the tumors located in the main pancreatic duct. Microscopically, back-to-back tubular glands were densely arranged, parts of them with papillary structure, with obvious cell atypia and many mitoses. Twenty-two cases (47.8%) of ITPN were completely confined to the pancreatic duct, and 24 cases (52.2%) were with associated invasive carcinoma. Tumor cells were positive for cytokeratin 7 and mucin 1, but negative for cytokeratin 20, synaptophysin, chromogranin and trypsin. Mucin 2, mucin 5AC and mucin 6 were negative in most cases. Ki-67 ranged from 10% to 70%.Conclusion:Pancreatic ITPNs were mostly located in the pancreatic head, confined to the main pancreatic duct, and were mostly manifested as pain and discomfort in the upper abdomen. Surgery was the main treatment. Tumors cells of ITPN were arranged in tubular and papillary, with severe epithelial atypia and special immunophenotype, parts of cases accompanied with associated invasive carcinoma.

Nipple-sparing Mastectomy with Immediate Implant-based Reconstruction for Patients with Pure Ductal Carcinoma in Situ / Mastectomia preservadora demamilo com reconstrução imediata baseada em implante para pacientes com carcinoma ductal puro in situ

Abstract Objective The presence of an extensive intraductal component is associated to an increasing risk of relapse in the nipple-areola complex. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the outcomes of patients diagnosed with ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) who underwent nipple-sparing mastectomy (NSM) with immediate breast reconstruction using silicone implants. Methods We retrospectively analyzed the postoperative complications and oncological safety of 67 breast cancer patients diagnosed with pure DCIS who underwent NSM with immediate breast reconstruction using silicone implants between 2004 and 2018. Results Among the 127 NSM procedures performed, 2 hematomas (1.5%) and 1 partial nipple necrosis (0.7%) were observed. After a mean follow-up of 60months, the local recurrence rate was of 8.9%, the disease-free survival rate was of 90%, and 1 of the patients died. Conclusion Despite the local recurrence rate, we showed that NSM with immediate breast reconstruction using silicone implants is a feasible surgical approach, with a low rate of complications and high survival rates for patients with a diagnosis of pure DCIS when breast-conserving surgery is not an option.

Research progress in pathology and imaging of intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms of the pancreas / 国际生物医学工程杂志

Intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm (IPMN) of the pancreas is a cystic tumor of the pancreas with some malignant potential. According to the degree of pancreatic duct expansion and the location of the tumor, it can be divided into main-duct type, branch-duct type, and mixed type. According to the degree of atypia, it can be classified as low-grade dysplasia, high-grade dysplasia, or invasive IPMN. According to histological morphology and immunohistochemistry, there are four subtypes: gastric type, intestinal type, pancreaticobiliary type, and eosinophilic type. Ultrasound is commonly used in screening and follow-up, while CT, MRI/MRCP, and EUS can identify IPMN with high-risk and anxiety characteristics, which are valuable in determining the timing of surgery and patient status. Imaging omics is highly accurate in assessing the degree of dysplasia and can be used to identify people at high risk of malignant transformation. In this article, the clinical manifestations, pathology, and imaging features of IPMN are reviewed in the light of the relevant guidelines and literature in recent years, in order to deepen our understanding of IPMN and thus improve the accuracy of imaging diagnosis.

Analysis of clinical and imaging features of 12 cases of pancreatic intraductal oncocytic papillary neoplasm / 中华消化杂志

Objective:To investigate the clinical and imaging features of pancreatic intraductal oncocytic papillary neoplasm (IOPN).Methods:From January 2011 to August 2021, at the First Affiliated Hospital (Changhai Hospital) of Naval Medical University, 12 patients pathologically diagnosed with pancreatic IOPN after surgical resection were enrolled. Before operation, all patients underwent plain and enhanced computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The clinical data (general conditions, main complaints, tumor related indicators and past medical history), CT and MRI features, surgical methods and pathologic results of the 12 patients with pancreatic IOPN were retrospectively analyzed. Descriptive method was used for statistical analysis.Results:Among 12 pancreatic IOPN patients, there were 7 males and 5 females, aged (54.0±13.0) years old (ranged from 31 to 75 years old). The symptoms were abdominal pain in 3 cases, jaundice in 1 case and 8 cases were detected during regular health checkups. Serum carbohydrate antigen 19-9 increased in 3 cases and carcinoembryonic antigen increased in 2 cases. One pancreatic IOPN patient with pancreatitis history and 3 pancreatic IOPN patients with diabetes history. Six cases were with the lesions located in the head of pancreas, 5 cases were located in the body and tail of pancreas and 1 case were diffused in the all the pancreas. Five cases were branch duct type, 2 cases were main duct type and 5 cases were mixed duct type. Ten pancreatic IOPN patients presented cystic or cystic-solid tumor, the maximum diameter (range) of the tumor was (50.3±31.1) mm (28 to 127 mm). The cyst walls of 6 patients were thickened and those of 9 patients were found with enhanced mural nodule or solid component, and none of them were growing outside the cystic wall. Two patients presented solid tumor located in the dilated pancreatic duct, and the maximum diameter (range) of the tumor was (25.5±0.5) mm (25 to 26 mm). The solid tumor demonstrated as slightly lower density on plain CT scan, lower signal on T1-weighted MRI imaging, high signal on T2-weighted MRI imaging, and limited diffusion on diffusion weighted imaging, and mild enhancement after CT and MRI enhanced scan. The main pancreatic duct dilated in 11 cases, and the inner diameter (range) was (10.5±8.1) mm (3 to 28 mm). The pancreatic parenchymal of 4 pancreatic IOPN patients was atrophy, 4 patients with calcification and 1 patient with lymphadenopathy. None of the 12 pancreatic IPON patients had peripheral blood vessel and tissue invasion. Six cases were received pancreaticoduodenectomy, 4 cases were underwent distal pancreatectomy, 2 cases underwent total pancreatectomy. The pathological classification of 7 pancreatic IOPN patients was invasive carcinoma, 4 cases were with high-grade dysplasia and 1 case with low-grade dysplasia.Conclusion:The clinical features of pancreatic IOPN are atypical and the imaging findings are mostly solid or cystic-solid tumor, pancreatic duct dilation, solid component of tumor located in the dilated pancreatic duct, and no peripheral tissue invasion.

Neoplasia papilomucinosa intraductal de páncreas: experiencia a 10 años, en un único centro / Intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm of the pancreas: A 10-year experience at a single center

RESUMEN Antecedentes: Debido a la mejoría de los métodos diagnósticos, la incidencia de la neoplasia papilar mucinosa intraductal del páncreas (NPMI) ha aumentado en los últimos años. Objetivo: Presentar la experiencia en el manejo alejado de pacientes con NPMI en un centro de referencia. Material y métodos : Se realizó análisis retrospectivo de pacientes que consultaron al Servicio de Ci rugía General y HPB del Hospital Universitario Fundación Favaloro, por patología pancreática tumo ral entre enero de 2010 y diciembre de 2019. Los pacientes se clasificaron en 2 grupos: A) aquellos con diagnóstico en consultorio de NPMI y B) aquellos en los que la NPMI fue un hallazgo en la pieza quirúrgica (B). Resultados: Ochenta y seis pacientes fueron analizados: 79 (90%) se incluyeron en el grupo A y 7 en el grupo B. De los pacientes del grupo A, en 57 casos (66%) se decidió conducta expectante y seguimiento (AS). De los 22 pacientes restantes, 18 fueron operados (29%) (AC) y 4 tienen la cirugía pendiente. Para el grupo A, la supervivencia a los 5 años fue de 89% para el grupo AS, de 86% en grupo AC, y del 43% para el grupo B (Breslow 0,001, Log-Rank 0,001 vs. grupo A). Conclusión: El diagnóstico y manejo de la NPMI está hoy estandarizado, en las tipo I y III está indicada cirugía, la tipo II debe seguirse por riesgo de malignización; cuando se le indica cirugía, la supervivencia a largo plazo debe ser similar a la del grupo en seguimiento.

ABSTRACT Background: The incidence of intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm (IPMN) of the pancreas has increased over the past years along with the development of diagnostic imaging tests. Objective: The aim of this study is to describe our experience on long-term management of patients with IPMNs in a reference center. Material and methods: We conducted a retrospective and descriptive analysis of patients with pancreatic neoplasms followed-up at the Department of General Surgery and Hepato-Biliary Surgery, Hospital Universitario Fundación Favaloro, between January 2010 and December 2019. The patients were classified into 2 groups: group A (diagnosis of IPMN made in the outpatient clinic), and group B (diagnosis of IPMN in the pathological examination). Results: Eighty-six patients were analyzed: 79 (90%) in group A and 7 in group B. In group A, a watchful waiting with monitoring (AM) was decided in 57 cases (66%). Of the remaining 22 patients, 18 (29%) patients underwent surgery (AS) and 4 are waiting for surgery. Survival at 5 years was 89% in group AM, 86% in group AS and 43% in group B (Breslow 0.001, log-rank test 0,001 vs. group A). Conclusion : The diagnosis and management of IPMNs is currently standardized. Surgery is indicated in MD-IPMN and mixed type IPMN. Patients with BD-IPMN type should be monitored due to the risk of malignant transformation. When surgery is indicated, long-term survival should be similar to that of the surveillance group.

Solid intracystic papillary carcinoma in male breast: case report

The intracystic papillary carcinoma (IPC) is one of the rarest types of breast cancer, mainly in men, representing less than 1% of the malignant diseases in the male sex. It is frequently associated with the ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS), but there are also other forms such as the pure and the invasive ones. The male population breast cancer diagnosis is late and, therefore, it has a worse prognosis. The diagnosis is given by imaging tests and anatomopathological studies. The treatment consists of excisional tumor therapy, which can be carried out conservatively or through mastectomy, with or without adjuvant therapy.

Inverted ductal papilloma of the salivary gland

@#This is a case consult of slides stated to be from an excision of a buccal mucosa mass in a 58-year-old-man. The specimen was described as a 3 cm diameter roughly oval tan-gray tissue with a 2 x 1.5 cm mucosal ellipse on the surface that has a central ulcerated punctum. Cut section showed an underlying 1.7 cm diameter roughly oval well-circumscribed mass with a granular tan surface. Histological sections show a papillary lesion with an orifice on the mucosal surface and with epithelial nests invaginating into the underlying lamina propria in a non-infiltrative pattern. (Figure 1) The lesion is composed of papillary epithelial fronds with cleft-like spaces between the fronds. (Figure 2) The papillary fronds are lined by non-keratinizing basaloid stratified squamous cells with a superficial layer of columnar glandular cells along with mucous goblet cells interspersed among the squamous cells. (Figure 3) All the cellular components are devoid of cytologic atypia and mitoses. Based on these microscopic features we signed the case out as inverted ductal papilloma (IDP).

MRI characteristics and malignancy risk prediction model for intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm of the pancreas / 中华胰腺病杂志

Objective:To investigate the MRI features of intraductal papillary mucinous tumor (IPMN) of the pancreas and establish a prediction model for predicting the malignancy risk.Methods:The clinical data of 260 IPMN patients who underwent MRI and pathological confirmed in the First Affiliated Hospital of Naval Medical University from October 2012 to April 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. According to the pathological results, all patients were divided into benign group (including IPMN with low-grade dysplasia) and malignant group (including IPMN with high grade dysplasia and invasive carcinoma). According to international consensus of prediction model modeling, patients were divided into training set and validation set in chronological order. A prediction model was developed based on a training set consisting of 193 patients (including 117 patients with benign IPMN and 76 patients with malignant IPMN) between October 2012 and April 2019, and the model was validated in 67 patients (including 40 patients with benign IPMN and 27 patients with malignant IPMN) between May 2019 and April 2020. The multivariable logistic regression model was adopted to identify the independent predictive factors for IPMN malignancy and establish and visualized a nomogram. The ROC was drawn and AUC was calculated. The decision curve analysis was used to evaluate its clinical usefulness.Results:The IPMN type, cyst size, thickened cyst wall, mural nodule size, diameter of main pancreatic duct (MPD) and the abrupt change in the caliber of the MPD with distal pancreatic atrophy in the training set and validation set, and jaundice and lymphadenopathy in the training set were significantly different between benign group and malignant group ( P<0.05). The multivariable logistic regression model of characteristics included the jaundice, cyst size, mural nodule size ≥5 mm, the abrupt change in caliber of the MPD with distal pancreatic atrophy were independent risk factors for IPMN maligancy. The model for predicting IPMN malignancy was -0.35+ 2.28×(jaundice)+ 1.57×(mural nodule size ≥5 mm)+ 2.92×(the abrupt change in caliber of the MPD with distal pancreatic atrophy)-1.95×(cyst <3 cm)-1.05×(cyst≥3 cm). The individualized prediction nomogram using these predictors of the malignant IPMN achieved an AUC of 0.85 (95% CI 0.79-0.91) in the training set and 0.84 (95% CI 0.74-0.94) in the validation set. The sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of the training set were 72.37%, 85.47% and 80.31%, respectively. The sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of the validation set were 81.48%, 75.00% and 77.61%, respectively. The decision curve analysis demonstrated that when the IPMN malignancy rate was >0.16, the nomogram diagnosing IPMN could benefit patients more than the strategy of considering all the patients as malignancy or non-malignancy. Conclusions:The nomogram based on MRI features can accurately predict the risk of malignant IPMN, and can be used as an effective predictive tool to provide more accurate information for personalized diagnosis and treatment of patients.

Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography combined with SpyGlass in the diagnosis of intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms of the bile duct / 中华消化内镜杂志

To evaluate the value of endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography(ERCP)and SpyGlass in the diagnosis of intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm of the bile duct (IPMN-B). Data of patients who underwent ERCP and SpyGlass in Hangzhou First People′s Hospital from January 2016 to December 2019 were analyzed. ERCP and SpyGlass features, complications, clinicopathologic characteristics and prognosis were retrospectively analyzed.A total of 9 patients (5 benign lesions and 4 malignant lesions) were included.ERCP was successfully performed in 9 cases, while SpyGlass was technically successful in 8 cases. Endoscopy showed mucus outflow from the papilla in 5 cases, and the mucus was removed by the balloon of ERCP in 8 cases.ERCP showed bile duct diffuse dilatation and filling defects in all patients. SpyGlass found the mucus in the bile duct in all patients. SpyGlass showed lesion mucosa were fish-egg like without vascular images (Ⅱtype, 3 cases), fish-egg like with vascular images (Ⅲ type, 1 case), villous (Ⅳtype, 4 cases). SpyGlass defined extent of the lesion in 8 cases. SpyGlass found that the lesion involved the intra and extrahepatic bile ducts in one case. Therefore, liver transplantation was recommended to avoid surgical exploration. One type Ⅲ lesion underwent a direct biopsy. The pathology showed moderate dysplasia, which was consistent with the postoperative pathology. No complication occurred. ERCP combined with SpyGlass could clarify the scope of IPMN-B and provide basis for surgical options, which is safe and effective in IPMN-B diagnosis.

Progress in diagnosis and treatment for intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm of pancreas / 中华肝胆外科杂志

The intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm (IPMN) become the focus of clinical study because of the potential malignancy. Based on the latest clinical guidelines and relevant literatures, this review summarized the epidemiologic features, pathological and histological features, pathogenesis, clinical manifestations, laboratory and radiology examination, therapy and follow-up to better understand the diagnosis and treatment for IPMN.

Colloid carcinoma arising from intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm of pancreas: imaging features and differentiation from ductal adenocarcinoma / 中华放射学杂志

Objective:To investigate the imaging features of colloid carcinoma arising from intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm (IPMN) of pancreas and the differentiation features from ductal adenocarcinoma arising from IPMN, using the pathological findings as the reference.Methods:Twenty-four patients with pathologically confirmed colloid carcinoma from November 2013 to January 2020 in Changhai Hospital, Navy Medical University were included in this study. The clinical manifestations, imaging features and pathological data were retrospective reviewed. Thirty patients of ductal adenocarcinoma arising from IPMN confirmed by pathology were selected as the control group. CT and MRI features of two groups were blindly analyzed by two radiologists, including the lesions location, type of IPMN, size, components, density or signal, calcification, dilation and size of the main pancreatic duct (MPD), pancreatic parenchymal atrophy, fistula formation. The χ 2 test or Fisher exact probability was used to compare the imaging features between the two groups. Results:As for IPMN with colloid carcinoma, 16 cases were located in the head of the pancreas, 7 cases in the body and tail of the pancreas, and 1 case showed diffused changes of the pancreas. Mass was found in twenty-two cases, with the size of 54.5 (29) mm. Nineteen cases were solid-cystic, 4 were cystic and 1 was solid. Thick wall and internal separation with mild enhancement were displayed. Five cases were found with high signal on T 1WI. Thirteen cases had calcification and 2 cases had gas in the tumor. The size of MPD was (13±5) mm. Pancreatic parenchymal atrophy was found in 21 cases and fistula formation was found in 8 cases. The mass size of IPMN with colloid carcinoma was significantly greater than that of IPMN with ductal adenocarcinoma [31 (16) mm, Z=-3.758, P<0.001]. Solid-cystic mass was more found in IPMN with colloid carcinoma and solid mass was more found in IPMN with ductal adenocarcinoma ( P<0.001). Calcification ( P=0.001), fistula formation ( P=0.031), and high signal on T 1WI ( P=0.034) were more found in IPMN with colloid carcinoma than IPMN with ductal adenocarcinoma. Conclusion:Compared with IPMN with ductal adenocarcinoma, the solid-cystic mass, calcification, fistula formation and high signal on T 1WI were more commonly found in IPMN with colloid carcinoma.

Atypical imaging findings of common pancreatic tumors / 中华消化外科杂志

The particularity of pancreatic anatomical location, the complexity of secretory function, and the diversity of pathology lead to complex imaging findings of pancreatic tumors. The common pancreatic tumors include pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma, solid pseudopaillary neo-plasm, neuroendocrine neoplasm, intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm, serous cystadenoma and mucinous cystic neoplasm. Atypical imaging findings are important reasons for misdiagnosis. Based on relevant clinical experiences, the authors analyze and summarize the atypical imaging findings of six kinds of common pancreatic tumors, aiming to improve radiologists and clinicians comprehensive understanding of pancreatic tumors.
