| Core Tip |
Most serous cystic neoplasm (SCN) consist of a combination of microcystic, macrocystic, and solid-appearing components. The imaging appearance of each component simply reflects the different sizes of cysts that comprise the SCN. The diagnostic key of SCN is to look for a cluster of microcysts (honeycomb pattern). However, differentiation between oligocystic SCN and branch duct type intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm, and between neuroendocrine tumor and extremely rare solid serous adenoma, may be difficult. |
