MR Cholangiopancreatographic Differentiation of Benign and Malignant Intraductal Mucin- Producing Tumors of the Pancreas

Abstract

In patients with intraductal mucin-producing tumors of the pancreas, filling defects are indicative of malignancy. Diffuse main pancreatic duct dilatation greater than 15 mm (main duct type), or any main pancreatic duct dilatation (branch duct type), is strongly associated with malignancy.
