OBJECTIVE The purpose of our study was to determine useful CT criteria for differentiating serous oligocystic adenomas of the pancreas from other similarly presenting neoplasms, such as mucinous cystadenoma and intraductal papillary mucinous tumor of the branch duct type. MATERIALS AND METHODS Forty-one patients with histologically confirmed macrocystic neoplasms of the pancreas were enrolled...

Pancreatic tuberculosis is rare and can occur in the absence of evidence of tuberculosis elsewhere in the body. Here we review the radiological appearance of pancreatic tuberculosis and compare it with other cystic pancreatic lesions, including common lesions (pseudocysts, serous or mucinous cystadenomas, intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm) and rare lesions such as solid pseudopapillary tu...

S19 ENDOSCOPIC ULTRASOUND / VOLUME 6 / SUPPLEMENT 1 / AUGUST 2017 2.7 ± 1.7 cm. Most patients were asymptomatic. The type of cystic lesions was intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm (IPMN; n = 35), serous cystadenoma (n = 18), mucinous cystic neoplasm (MCN; n = 12), solid pseudopapillary epithelial neoplasm (SPEN; n = 9), cystic degeneration of other tumors (n = 4), simple cyst (n = 4), infec...

We report two cases of cystic neoplasm of the liver with mucinous epithelium in which both ovarian-like stroma and bile duct communication were absent. The first case was a 41-year-old woman. She underwent right trisegmentectomy due to a multilocular cystic lesion, 15 cm in diameter, with papillary nodular components in the medial segment and right lobe. Histologically, arborizing papillae were...

Background and Aim: A biliary tract intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm (IPMN-B), considered a precursor for cholangiocarcinoma, is characterized by intraluminal masses increased mucin secretion that obstructs dilates the tree. 1 The rare cystic tumors, neoplasms of liver (MCN-L), rarely extend into bile ducts, however there are few case reports. 2 Case Report: 54 Years Male, presented with...

Cystic tumors of the pancreas have become increasingly prevalent. In large series, more than 90% of pancreatic cystic neoplasms are accounted for by mucinous cystadenomas and cystadenocarcinomas, serous cystadenomas, and intraductal papillary mucinous tumors. Differentiating cystic neoplasms from pseudocysts can almost always be accomplished by clinical and radiological means, but in doubtful c...

Biliary cystic tumors are rare neoplasms occurring in the liver and less frequently in the extrahepatic biliary system. Recently, biliary cystic tumors in the liver are thought to be divided into a biliary mucinous cystic neoplasm and intraductal papillary neoplasm of the bile duct. We report a case of a large cystic tumor originating around the hepatic hilum which had luminal communication wit...
