“…Serous pancreatic cystic tumors are composed of epithelial cells derived from the centroacinar cells of the pancreas that produce serous fluid . These benign cystic tumors of the pancreas occur in elderly women, usually as an incidental finding . The rare oligocystic or macrocystic (MSC) variant of serous cystadenoma may appear as a unilocular cyst, or it may contain a few large (>2 cm) cysts.…”

“…Serous cystadenomas (SCAs) are benign pancreatic cystic neoplasms that manifest three major morphologic patterns: polycystic or microcystic (honeycomb), oligocystic (macrocystic), and solid . The macrocystic or oligocystic pattern is the least common variant of serous cystadenomas and is seen in fewer than 10% of patients . These tumors can be asymptomatic in up to 75% of cases, or may present with abdominal pain, jaundice, or recurrent episodes of pancreatitis.…”

At ultrasonography (US), macrocystic SCAs appear as a single or multiloculated cystic lesion that may be difficult to differentiate from a mucinous cystic tumor or a cystadenocarcinoma of the pancreas.…”

Giant serous cystadenoma of the pancreas appearing sonographically as a remote pararenal mass

Macrocystic serous cystadenoma (MSC) of the pancreas is a rare benign neoplasm with varied imaging appearances. We describe an intriguing case of a surgically resected and histologically proven giant MSC, developed in the pararenal space. Ultrasonography (US) revealed a large, oligocystic mass around the lower pole of right kidney. Like US, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging were unable to detect the origin of the lesion, which was only verified at surgical exploration. A bizarre finding was the unusual location of the pancreatic tumor growing seemingly apart from the pancreas itself, with no obvious connection to it.

“…The overall five-year survival rate is only 4%. 1 Because of its silent course, late clinical symptoms and rapid growth pattern, it has been known as a 'silent killer'. About two third of pancreatic masses arise in the head of the pancreas.…”

Diagonstic imaging plays a critical role in evaluation of the adenocarcinoma of the pancreasthe 4 th leading cause of death for the cancer globally. The purpose of this study was to determine the role of multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) in evaluation of pancreatic tumors. The prospective and study was carried out in Dhaka, Bangladesh during the period of July, 2013 to December 2014. Amongst 47 publish with suspected pancreatic lesion (having positive CT scan findings). Patients underwent histopathology of their lesions, the report of which was used as gold standard for comparing the role of CT scan in evaluating such lesions. Pancreatic disease was found to be more prevalent in males. The commonest age group was 56-65 years. On the average malignant lesions were more common in elder age group than the benign ones. Head of the pancreas was the commonest site for malignant pancreatic mass. Main pancreatic duct (MPD) dilatation was found to be a harbinger for malignant condition of pancreas. 72.3% patients showed MPD dilatation most of which proved to be malignant. Some 45% patients showed common bile duct (CBD) dilatation all of which presented clinically with jaundice. Out of 47 patients 33 (60.3%) were diagnosed to have malignant lesions while 14 (39.7%) had benign lesions. Finding of the study suggest that CT scan may be a useful tool for assessing and changing of Parcrease mass lesions.

Acquired Constricting and Restricting Lesions of the Descending Duodenum

The descending duodenum is a structure with distinct pathologic processes and anatomic relationships that requires a systematic approach to the differential diagnosis. Because of its tubular shape and fixed position in the retroperitoneum, both intrinsic duodenal and juxtaduodenal diseases are capable of producing luminal narrowing and obstruction. Duodenal lesions may be located in the mucosa or submucosa. Extraduodenal lesions may originate in adjacent structures--such as the pancreas, liver, gallbladder, colon, and lymph nodes--or from other retroperitoneal structures. Causes of duodenal obstruction include intraluminal masses, such as bezoars; duodenal inflammation, such as as peptic ulcers and Crohn disease; hematomas; and benign or malignant mucosal and intramural tumors. Pancreatic inflammation; tumors; and extrinsic compression caused by gallbladder processes, hepatic masses, retroperitoneal fluid collections, and tumors, including lymphoma, may produce duodenal obstruction. Abdominal radiography, barium studies, multidetector computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, and positron emission tomography may be used to depict and characterize duodenal strictures. Integration of imaging, clinical, laboratory, and endoscopic findings plays a major role in establishing a diagnosis of obstructive duodenal strictures.
