Ductal adenocarcinoma is the most common pancreatic neoplasm. The spectrum of pancreatic tumors is broad however, and includes other exocrine and non exocrine cell types. The clinical features of the patient, including age and gender, in combination with the imaging appearance can frequently lead the radiologist to a specific pathologic diagnosis. The key radiologic findings on CT, US and MRI of the range of pancreatic tumors and tumor-like conditions, with clinical and selected pathologic correlation will be reviewed.

Comprehensive, multiple choice question case-based review of the spectrum of tumors and tumor-like conditions of the pancreas with special attention to key cross-sectional imaging features and clinical management. Pathologic correlation will be provided when appropriate. Spectrum of pancreatic neoplasms include adenocarcinoma, mucinous cystic neoplasm, serous cystadenoma, intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm, solid pseudopapillary neoplasm, acinar cell cystadenocarcinoma, paraganglioma, pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors, lymphoma, intraductal oncocytic papillary neoplasm, osteoclast giant cell tumor, as well as metastasis and the pancreatic tumors related to Von Hippel-Lindau syndrome. Tumor-like conditions including focal autoimmune pancreatitis and lipomatous pseudohypertophy will be presented.
