Core Tip
Core tip: Diagnostic imaging is an important tool to evaluate pancreatic neoplasms. We describe and illustrate the imaging features and key findings of pancreatic malignancies and their mimics. The knowledge of radiologic findings is relevant to do an accurate diagnosis that allows a proper management and should be known not only for radiologists but by physicians that comprise multidisciplinary teams.
