“…No enhancement is seen following administration of intravenous contrast agents. 5 On MR imaging, pancreatic lipomas are isointense to the intra-abdominal fat which is hyperintense on both T1 and T2 weighted sequences and does not show any enhancement following administration of gadolinium. 4 Although these tumours are asymptomatic, complications such as obstruction of common bile duct or pancreatic duct and compression of adjacent vessels can occur.…”

“…On CT scans, they are homogeneous, well-defined and show a characteristic fatedensity with no infiltration of adjacent structures. 5 Thin septations may be seen within the mass corresponding to fibrolobular septae inside the mass. No enhancement is seen following administration of intravenous contrast agents.…”

“…Merli et al 3 (quarto caso a ser publicado), descreveram outro caso de lipoma de cabeça de pâncreas em mulher de 70 anos, diagnosticado precisamente por TC e seguida por cirurgia conservadora com excisão simples do tumor. Em quatro casos revistos por Katz et al 4 , os autores mostraram a sensibilidade e a especificidade da TC no diagnóstico de lipoma pancreático em pacientes que apresentavam sintomas vagos de afecção abdominal; foram massas de 2,5 a 5,3cm encapsuladas na cabeça do pâncreas. Boglino et al descreveram em criança de 11 meses a presença de um tumor palpável no abdome superior, que durante a cirurgia foi diagnosticado lipoma de cauda de pâncreas 5 .…”
