Small and Large Incidental Non-Hyperfunctiong Pancreatic Neuroendocrine Tumors: Spectrum of Magnetic Resonance Imaging Features

#1457

Introduction: The improvement of imaging techniques significantly increased the detection of small incidental non-hyperfunctioning pancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasms (NF-PanNENs). Most NF-PanNENs <2 cm are likely benign lesions and a non-operative approach could be advocated in selected cases for these lesions.

Aim(s): To analyze and compare magnetic resonance (MR) imaging features of incidental NF-PanNENs according to their size.

Materials and methods: MR examinations of 23 patients with incidental, histologically-proven PanNENs were retrospectively evaluated. Qualitative and quantitative MR features were analyzed and compared between small (<2 cm) and large (>2 cm) NF-PanNENs.
