Chondrogenic tumors are typically well recognized on radiographs, but differentiation between benign and malignant cartilaginous lesions can be difficult both for the radiologist and for the pathologist. Diagnosis is based on a combination of clinical, radiological and histological findings. While treatment of benign lesions does not require surgery, the only curative treatment for chondrosarcoma is resection.

- The study investigates the preoperative characteristics visible on CT scans that may increase the risk of developing clinically relevant postoperative pancreatic fistula (CR-POPF) after pancreatectoduodenectomy (PD).
- It involves a retrospective analysis of 103 patients and identifies significant imaging factors, such as main pancreatic duct diameter and pancreatic volume, that correlate with soft pancreatic consistency and higher rates of CR-POPF.
- Key findings suggest that a smaller main pancreatic duct and higher amounts of total adipose tissue serve as independent predictors for CR-POPF, thereby aiding in preoperative risk assessment.
