Pancreatic lipoma: a pancreatic incidentaloma; diagnosis with ultrasound, computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging
Pancreatic lipomas are rare. We present a case of incidentally discovered pancreatic lipoma in a 45-year-old female suffering from metastatic ovarian carcinoma who was referred to radiology for follow-up imaging. Fat-containing tumours originating from the pancreas are very rare. Most lipomasshow ch...

Sumario: | Pancreatic lipomas are rare. We present a case of incidentally discovered pancreatic lipoma in a 45-year-old female suffering from metastatic ovarian carcinoma who was referred to radiology for follow-up imaging. Fat-containing tumours originating from the pancreas are very rare. Most lipomasshow characteristic features on imaging that allow their differentiation. In most cases, accurate diagnosis is attained without any histopathological confirmation. We present the imaging features of pancreatic lipoma on ultrasound, CT scan and MRI, the differential diagnosis and a brief review of the literature. |
