Pancreatic Neuroendocrine Tumor with Atypical Radiologic Presentation

Radiol Case Rep. 2015 Nov 6;3(3):162. doi: 10.2484/rcr.v3i3.162. eCollection 2008.

Abstract

An atypical radiographic presentation of a rare non-functional pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor as seen on US, CT and MRI is described. Radiographic-pathologic correlation via gross autopsy specimens and immuno-histochemical staining demonstrates the pancreas to be markedly enlarged with extensive calcifications and numerous tiny cysts secondary to diffuse neoplastic infiltration without a focal mass.

Keywords: CT, computed tomography; MRI, magnetic resonance imaging.
