Since rare pancreatic cystic tumors may differ from common pancreatic cystic neoplasms in terms of treatment plan and prognosis, the differential diagnosis of these diseases is clinically relevant. Various imaging tests play an important role in the differential diagnosis of rare cystic pancreatic tumors, but accurately distinguishing these diseases solely on the basis of imaging findings is challenging. The purpose of this pictorial review is to present CT and in particular MR imaging features of rare pancreatic cystic tumors and discuss potential elements for differential diagnosis.

Initial diagnostic criteria for AIE include small bowel villous atrophy, lack of response to dietary restrictions, presence of anti-enterocyte antibodies, and predisposition to autoimmunity without severe immunodeficiency.
