| Core Tip |
Intrapancreatic accessory spleen (IPAS) typically presents as a solitary, well-defined, hypervascular mass with a maximum diameter < 3 cm on contrast-enhanced computed tomography or contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging. They are often misdiagnosed as small (< 3 cm) hypervascular pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (PNETs). IPAS is innocuous in nature and generally does not require any treatment. However, surgery and/or chemotherapy are recommended for PNTEs. Unfortunately, the overlap of imaging characteristics between IPAS and PNETs often requires surgical management. Therefore, preoperative characterization is of utmost importance. Our study demonstrated that both absolute apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) and normalized ADC values (lesion-to-spleen ADC ratios) allow clinically relevant differentiation of IPAS from PNETs. |
