Imaging pitfalls of pancreatic serous cystic neoplasm and its potential mimickers

Figure 18 A 56-year-old male with chronic pancreatic pseudocyst. A: The venous phase of an axial contrast enhanced T1-weighted gradient-echo magnetic resonance image demonstrates a cystic lesion with thick cyst wall and septation (arrows) arising from the pancreatic tail. Although this is a male patient, making mucinous cystic neoplasm unlikely, imaging findings of chronic pseudocyst may still mimic mucinous cystic neoplasm; B: The axial fast spin-echo T2-weighted magnetic resonance image with fat saturation shows non-enhancing debris (A) attached to the cyst wall and the septum (arrows).
