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

Figure 3 Images from 2 different patients with central scar. A: Axial MDCT image from a 46-year-old woman with a macrocystic SCA with a central scar (white arrow); B: Gross pathological specimen of the same patient also reveals the macrocystic pattern with the septa converging on a central scar (star); C: Axial MDCT image from a 66-year-old male who had a history of chronic pancreatitis, reveals a large lobulated microcystic lesion with central stellate calcification (black arrow). A Whipple procedure was done to remove a 4 cm mass from the head of the pancreas. Corresponding gross pathological image of the microcystic SCA with calcification (black arrow) in the central scar (D).
