Background: The International Society for the Study of Vascular Anomalies (ISSVA) provides a detailed classification system to facilitate accurate diagnosis and management of these conditions based on clinical criteria, imaging, and histopathological findings. This review aims to systematically present the state of the art in Artificial Intelligence (AI) applications for the diagnosis, classification, and treatment planning of vascular anomalies affecting the soft tissues of the head and neck region.
Methods: The PubMed research identified 86 articles.
Article Synopsis
- The review discusses primary benign mesenchymal tumors of the pancreas, which are very rare and often diagnosed only after surgery.
- These tumors are usually identified through postoperative histology, leading to significant pancreatic surgery even for benign cases.
- The summary includes limited findings from abdominal imaging and endoscopic ultrasound (EUS), with some case reports demonstrating modern ultrasound techniques used for diagnosis.
Intraductal oncocytic papillary neoplasm (IOPN) of the pancreas is a recently recognized pancreatic tumor. Here, we aimed to determine its most essential features with the systematic review tool. PubMed, Scopus, and Embase were searched for studies reporting data on pancreatic IOPN.

Mixed neuroendocrine-non-neuroendocrine neoplasms (MiNENs) nearly always include poorly differentiated NEC as the neuroendocrine component. The efficacy and safety of frontline mFOLFIRINOX chemotherapy has never been investigated in patients with high-grade NENs.

Methods: Follow-up MRI examinations of 287 patients with IPMN performed in two centers were retrospectively retrieved. Four MRI protocols were identified as follows: T1-weighted (T1w), T2-weighted (T2w), and MRCP sequences (protocol 1); T1w, T2w, MRCP, and diffusion-weighted (DWI) sequences (protocol 2); T1w, T2w, MRCP, and post-contrast T1w-sequences (protocol 3); and a comprehensive protocol including all previous sequences (protocol 4).
