Clinical diagnosis and management of pancreatic mucinous cystadenoma and cystadenocarcinoma: Single-center experience with 82 patients

Figure 1 Imaging and histological characteristics of pancreatic mucinous cystadenoma and mucinous cystadenocarcinomas. Case 1: Contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for pancreatic mucinous cystadenoma (MCA). A: Pronounced cystic lesion approximately 2 cm in length in the body of the pancreas (arrow) as seen on a T2W axial MRI image; B: Cyst wall and internal septations enhancement in the portal phase; C: Cut surface of the tumor with MCA pathology; Case 2: Contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) for pancreatic MCA. D: Cystic lesion in the body of the pancreas observed in the arterial phase of CT, with prominently enhanced internal septations (arrow); E: Cut surface of the tumor, with visible and pronounced internal septations (arrow) and MCA pathology; Case 3: Contrast-enhanced CT for pancreatic mucinous cystadenocarcinoma (MCC). F: Cystic lesion in the head of the pancreas observed in the arterial phase of CT. The cyst wall was thickened, but no internal septations were seen; G: Cut surface of the tumor. No internal septations can be seen. The thickness of the cyst wall measured approximately 3.5 mm (arrow); pathology testing showed features of MCC.
