Rev Esp Enferm Dig. 2022 Apr;114(4):245-246. doi: 10.17235/reed.2022.8536/2021.

Abstract

Following the incidental finding of a tumor in a 58-year-old female, diagnosed as pancreatic lipoma, histologically confirmed by fine-needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) with endoscopic ultrasound (EUS), we made a review in our center between 2018 and 2020, with 14 cases diagnosed of pancreatic lipoma by computarized tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
