Figure 4 Analysis for relation between tumor size and malignant potential and tumor nature (solid or cystic) in all 47 cases of pancreatic schwannoma.
A: Relationship between tumor size and malignancy. Larger tumor size is related to malignant tumor (13.8 ± 6.2 cm for malignancy vs 5.5 ± 4.4 cm for benign, P = 0.001); B: Relationship between tumor size and nature of tumor. Larger tumor size is related to cystic degeneration (13.8 ± 6.2 cm for cystic tumor vs 5.5 ± 4.4 cm for solid tumor, P = 0.005).
