Figure 9 Branch duct type of intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm of the pancreas in a 69 years old woman with epigastric discomfort. A: MinIP (axial oblique 6.2 mm thickness slab) image shows a lobulated cystic lesion (arrows) that is contiguous with the mildly prominent main pancreatic duct (black arrowheads); B: The curved MPR image shows a communication (white arrow) between the cystic mass and the pancreatic duct; C: ERCP shows a cystic branch duct (black arrows) with an intraluminal filling defect (white arrowhead) that represents mucus. Mucus was seen protruding from a patulous duodenal papilla (not shown).
