Overview
Key CT Findings in Mucinous cystadenocarcinoma
- CT may demonstrate high attenuation in some loculi due to the high protein content of the mucoid material
Mucinous cystadenoma of pancreas
- The tumour contour tends to be rounded or ovoid although this is not an absolutely specific feature
- Associated calcification when present tends to be more peripheral
- Contents of the lesion may be heterogenous is attenuation
- Internal septations may be present and tend to be linear or curvilinear
