Diagnostic Accuracy of 256-Detector Row Computed Tomography in Detection and Characterization of Incidental Pancreatic Cystic Lesions

Figure 6

MDCT study performed on an 81-year-old woman for oncologic follow-up (no previous studies performed at our Institution). Axial arterial scan shows an unexpected cystic lesion (white arrow) in the body-tail of the pancreas. MDCT clearly demonstrates the presence of a subtle septum (empty arrow) within the cysts. A further concomitant simple cyst (curved arrow) is evident in the pancreatic head.
