Imaging pitfalls of pancreatic serous cystic neoplasm and its potential mimickers

Figure 16 A 39-year-old male with solid pseudopapillary neoplasm. A: Magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography shows a high intensity pancreatic tail mass (arrow) that appears as a cluster of microcysts, mimicking microcystic serous cystic neoplasm (SCN); B: Axial diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance (MR) image (b-factor = 1000) shows the mass to be high intensity (arrow), unlikely for microcystic SCN; C: The equilibrium phase of an axial contrast enhanced T1-weighted gradient-echo MR image shows peripheral solid enhancing component within the tumor (arrows).
