| Core Tip |
Little is known about lipid-rich pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (PanNETs). In the current study, we clarify computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) characteristics of lipid-rich PanNETs. Adipose differentiation-related protein antibody positive lipid-rich cells were observed in 15 of 34 tumors (44.1%). Lipid-rich PanNETs had a similar appearance to usual PanNETs on enhanced CT. On chemical shift MRI, positive signal intensity index values in concordance with lipid contents were observed in eight of 34 tumors (23.5%). Lipid-rich PanNETs should be included in differential diagnosis whenever chemical shift MRI demonstrates lipid components within hypervascular pancreatic tumors. |
