In order to analyze characteristic CT signs in the solid pseudopapillary tumor of the pancreas, a retrospective analysis was conducted on 49 patients with pseudopapillary tumor of the pancreas who where treated in Liaoning Cancer Hospital. All of the patients were confirmed by pathology, CT signs were analyzed and a pathology contrast was conducted. Furthermore, all cases had single lesions; 7 cases in the pancreatic head, 23 cases in the pancreatic body, 15 cases in the pancreatic body-tail and 4 cases in the pancreatic tail. The boundaries of the lesions were clear and the tumors, which may outline the pancreas, were composed of solid and polycystic parts. In addition, calcifications could be observed in the lesions and CT results revealed varying degrees of contrast enhancement of the solid components in the arterial phase, as well as a gradual contrast enhancement in the venous and delayed phase. Enhancement of capsule could be observed, and the enhancement region was observed in the solid part, no enhancement in cystic part.. In conclusion, CT manifestations of solid pseudopapillary tumors of the pancreas are specific, which is helpful to the diagnosis.

Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists, including tirzepatide (Mounjaro), are widely used to manage type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and obesity. While gastrointestinal side effects are common, acute pancreatitis remains a rare but significant complication. Limited evidence exists on the risks associated with switching between GLP-1 agonists, emphasizing the need for clinical awareness.

Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is a highly lethal disease with poor prognosis and limited treatment options. While the majority of PDAC cases harbor KRAS mutations, approximately 8%-10% are KRAS wild-type (KRAS-WT). These KRAS-WT tumors often contain actionable mutations and gene fusions, making them more suitable for precision therapies.
