Overview

CT

There are no specific imaging features that permit reliable differentiation of biliary cystadenoma from cystadenocarcinoma.

  • The CT attenuation of the fluid component in a biliary cystadenoma varies depending on the fluid content.
  • Higher attenuation may indicate recent hemorrhage.
  • Calcifications that may be present in the septa or cyst wall are typically more apparent with CT than other imaging modalities.
  • Septa may enhance with contrast material.
