#511

Introduction: Management of pancreatic incidentalomas(PI) is challenging due to high risk of malignancy and limitations in prediction of their histology and biological behavior. IPAS is one of such lesions and is often misdiagnosed as a PNET.

Aim(s): Case: A 65-year-old male presented with PI of 1.6, 1.3 cm suspected for IPAS on CT but finally misdiagnosed as a nonfunctioning PNET. Post-surgical histopathology identified lesions as IPAS.

Materials and methods: Literature review.
