MULTICENTER STUDY
REVIEW
Serous pancreatic neoplasia, data and review.
World Journal of Gastroenterology : WJG 2017 August 15
AIM: To describe the imaging features of serous neoplasms of the pancreas using ultrasound, endoscopic ultrasound, computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging.
METHODS: This multicenter international collaboration enhances a literature review to date, reporting features of 287 histologically confirmed cases of serous pancreatic cystic neoplasms (SPNs).
RESULTS: Female predominance is seen with most SPNs presenting asymptomatically in the 5th through 7th decade. Mean lesion size was 38.7 mm, 98% were single, 44.2% cystic, 46% mixed cystic and solid, and 94% hypoechoic on B-mode ultrasound. Vascular patterns and contrast-enhancement profiles are described as hypervascular and hyperenhancing.
CONCLUSION: The described ultrasound features can aid differentiation of SPN from other neoplastic lesions under most circumstances.
