PDFAbstract
Objective To explore the CT features of solid pseudopapillary tumor of the pancreas (SPTP). Methods 9 cases of SPTP proved by pathology were included, and their clinical and CT data were analyzed retrospectively. Results All SPTP represented protruding single masses with clear boundary, the mean diameter was 7.01 cm. Complete capsule was seen in all lesions, 2 lesions with mural nodule, capsule and mural nodules showed the feature of "progressive enhancement". 2 lesions appeared cystic, presenting as homogenous low density mass, 1 lesion with calcification. 2 lesions appeared Cysticsolid mixing, presenting as similar proportion of solid and cystic regions, 1 lesion with calcification. 3 lesions appeared cystic-solid were mainly composed of soft tissue with a few scattered cystic regions. Essence of tumor showed low-grade or medium enhancement in arterial phase, and appeared to further and more uniform enhancement with greater range in venous phase, essence continued to enhance homogeneously in delay period. No enhancement was seen in cystic regions and cystic lesions. Conclusion There were some typical CT features of SPTP, Non-enhanced and multiphase contrastenhanced CT scanning were useful to its diagnosis.
