Comparison of endoscopic ultrasound, computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging in assessment of detailed structures of pancreatic cystic neoplasms

Table 4 Comparison of the characteristics of pancreatic cystic neoplasms between serous cystic neoplasms and mucinous cystic neoplasms by endoscopic ultrasound

EUS	SCNs	MCNs	P value
Papilla/nodule	14.80% (4/27)	47.80% (11/23)	0.011a
Septum	81.50% (22/27)	56.50% (13/23)	0.055
Duct dilatation	13.80% (4/27)	13.0% (3/23)	0.857

^aP < 0.05, there is statistical significance between each other. EUS: Endoscopic ultrasound; SCNs: Serous cystic neoplasms; MCNs: Mucinous cystic neoplasms.
