Unusual Features in an Adult Pancreatic Hemangioma: CT and MRI Demonstration
نویسندگان
چکیده
Hemangiomas in the pancreas are very rare and only a few cases in adulthood have been reported in the literature. We describe a case of pancreatic hemangiomas in an adult with unique imaging findings. A 23-year-old woman visited the hospital for an incidentally detected pancreatic mass. CT and MRI revealed a multilocular cyst with fluid-fluid levels and no obvious enhancement. The patient underwent surgery and the mass was confirmed as a pancreatic hemangioma. The radiological features and differential diagnosis of this rare lesion are discussed.

However, it’s high sensitivity and low specificity may account for false positive diagnosis in cases of trauma, infection, inflammation and other benign conditions. Skeletal hemangioma is one of the common benign conditions which are typically ametabolic on FDG PET CT with no uptake on bone...

tablished. The diagnostic features on contrast enhanced computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) include peripheral globular and gradual centripetal enhancement. In most cases, hemangiomas do not require a pathological examination. However, some hemangiomas show atypical radiologic features, such as poor gradual enhancement on sclerosing or hyalinized hemangioma and a fluid-...

In a patient with features indicating the presence of pseudotumor cerebri, a negative cranial CT-scan is not adequate to rule out less benign pathology and an MRI of brain should be performed. In this study, a 10-year old boy with daily headaches for one month and diplopia for one week was found to have a partial abducens palsy and bilateral papilledema; otherwise, his examination was normal. A...
