Figure 5 Endocrine tumor of the pancreas.
A: Plain color (non-enhanced color) Doppler endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) only showed few color signals inside the clearly delineated iso-echoic tumor; B: In contrast, there were abundant color signals inside the tumor, indicating it was hypervascular. B-mode image combined with contrast-enhanced EUS images provided an important clue for the diagnosis of pancreatic endocrine tumors. Levovist® was used in this case.
