Imaging of intraductal tubular tumors of the pancreas.

OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to evaluate the imaging features of intraductal tubular tumors of the pancreas. CONCLUSION Intraductal tubular tumors of the pancreas presented as solid tumors extending along and obstructing the pancreatic duct without downstream dilatation. Dynamic CT or MRI showed them to be hypovascular without delayed enhancement.
