Papillary cystic neoplasm of the pancreas: Radiological findings

  • Published:
Abdominal Imaging Aims and scope Submit manuscript

We report a series of 10 papillary cystic neoplasms of the pancreas evaluated in our institution. The lesions are analyzed in retrospect to define the existence of eventual specific imaging patterns as well as to point out the existing problems of differential diagnosis versus other pancreatic tumors.
