Purpose: This study aims to compare tubular pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (tPDAC) and colloid subtype pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (cPDAC) associated with intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms (IPMNs) on computed tomography.
Methods: An institutional review board-approved retrospective study included patients with either IPMN tPDAC or cPDAC. Enhancing mural nodules (MN), solid component (SC), main pancreatic duct (MPD) diameter, and abrupt change in MPD caliber were evaluated.
Results: A total of 22 patients with cPDAC and 17 patients with tPDAC showed no significant difference in MPD size. MN and SC were seen in cPDAC/tPDAC in 55%/18% and 9%/53%, respectively. Abrupt change in MPD caliber was seen in cPDAC/tPDAC at 18%/59%.
Conclusion: cPDAC and tPDAC differ in the frequency of MN, SC, and changes in MPD caliber.

Objectives: To develop and validate imaging-based models for predicting the malignancy risk of intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm (IPMN).
Materials And Methods: We retrospectively analyzed data from 241 IPMN patients who underwent preoperative CT and MRI for model development. Cyst size, presence and size of the enhancing mural nodule (EMN), main pancreatic duct (MPD) diameter, thickened/enhancing cyst wall, abrupt MPD caliber change with distal atrophy, and lymphadenopathy were assessed.

Background: Pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (PNETs) are rare and accounting for less than 5% of all pancreatic neoplasms. Their management depends on dimension of the lesion, main pancreatic duct (MPD) caliber, tumor malignancy features and evolutive potential.

Background: High-grade pancreatic intraepithelial neoplasia (PanIN) exhibits no mass and is not detected by any examination modalities. However, it can be diagnosed by pancreatic juice cytology from indirect findings. Most previous cases were diagnosed based on findings of a focal stricture of the main pancreatic duct (MPD) and caudal MPD dilatation and subsequent pancreatic juice cytology using endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP).

Endoscopic gastroduodenal stent (GDS) deployment is currently a standard treatment for malignant gastric outlet obstruction (mGOO) in patients with limited life expectancy; however, stent dysfunction (SD) and complicated pancreatitis often occur after GDS deployment. We investigated incidence and contributing factors of SD and complicated pancreatitis. We retrospectively reviewed 203 patients who underwent initial GDS deployment for palliation of mGOO symptoms between October 2017 and July 2022, including 109 who underwent GDS deployment across the duodenal papilla (sub-cohort).

Background And Aim: Stent-induced ductal change (SIDC) is a complication of endoscopic pancreatic stenting (EPS) in patients with chronic pancreatitis (CP). However, the evaluation of SIDC associated with S-type pancreatic plastic stent (PS) and large-caliber PS, such as 10 Fr, is limited. This study aimed to analyze the SIDC of the main pancreatic duct (MPD) associated with 10-Fr S-type PS in patients with CP.
