RESUMO
PURPOSE: Pancreatic intraductal oncocytic papillary neoplasms (IOPN) are rare precursors to pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma. We report cross-sectional computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging (where available) findings of pancreatic IOPNs. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Consecutive cases of pancreatic IOPNs identified on pathology between 2008 and 2020 at University of Pittsburgh and Johns Hopkins University were included in the study. Cross-sectional imaging of all patients was reviewed by two subspecialty trained abdominal radiologists. Patient demographics, cross-sectional imaging appearances and growth characteristics were evaluated. RESULTS: In this dual-center study, 14 patients with IOPNs were included. Median age was 64 years, and 64% were male. The median size of the lesions was 5.4 cm (range, 1.4-12.3 cm). All patients had either an enhancing mural nodule (93% of patients) and/or thick internal septations (29%). Thin/imperceptible outer wall was seen in 93%. Main duct was involved in 64% of the cases. Only 14% of the cases did not demonstrate abutment of the main duct. Histologic evaluation of surgical specimen showed high-grade dysplasia without invasive carcinoma in 57% and invasive carcinoma in 43% of cases. Lesions with invasive carcinoma were larger (7.1 cm vs 4.3 cm, P = 0.05) and tended to have larger mural nodule (3.7 cm vs 1.8 cm) compared with those without invasive carcinoma. CONCLUSION: Pancreatic IOPNs are rare cystic premalignant lesions, which among resected cases, are predominantly seen in middle aged men, are often large, have enhancing mural nodules and frequently harbor invasive carcinoma.
RESUMO
OBJECTIVE: The objective of our study was to investigate the relationship between hepatic adenoma and liver steatosis. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Radiology and pathology records from January 1999 to March 2007 were reviewed to identify 24 patients (22 women and two men; mean age, 40 years) with a pathology-proven diagnosis of hepatic adenoma (mean size +/- SD, 7.2 +/- 3.7 cm) who underwent helical contrast-enhanced CT (n = 23) and/or gadolinium-enhanced MRI (n = 8). The control group was composed of 24 patients of similar age and sex (21 women and three men; mean age, 43 years) with hepatic hemangioma who underwent CT or MR evaluation during the same time period. Two radiologists independently interpreted the imaging studies to determine the number of lesions and whether steatosis was present. The difference in prevalence of steatosis between the adenoma group versus the control group and the difference between patients with a single hepatic adenoma versus those with multiple hepatic adenomas were assessed (chi-square test). RESULTS: Hepatic steatosis was present in 14 of 24 patients (58%) with hepatic adenoma versus seven of 24 patients (29%) with hemangioma (p = 0.042). Steatosis was more common in patients with multiple hepatic adenomas (9/11, 82%) than in those with a single hepatic adenoma (5/13, 38%) (p = 0.047). CONCLUSION: Hepatic adenomas occur more frequently and more often are multiple in patients with hepatic steatosis.
