Predictive value of multi-detector computed tomography for accurate diagnosis of serous cystadenoma: Radiologic-pathologic correlation

Figure 1 A 64-year-old woman who was incidentally found to have a mass in the head of the pancreas and subsequently underwent a Whipple procedure for removal. A: Lobulated (arrow heads) microcystic serous cystadenoma (SCA) with characteristic honeycomb appearance is seen on axial MDCT image (1.25 mm); B: Gross pathological specimen of the lesion reveals cluster of microcysts with a sponge pattern. A central scar is appreciated on the pathological image (black arrow), which is subtle and difficult to appreciate on the CT image.
