Overview
Findings on CT suggestive of mucinous cystadenocarcinoma include rounded or ovoid tumor, internal septations, and calcification.
Key CT Findings in Mucinous Cystadenocarcinoma
- CT may demonstrate high attenuation in some loculi due to the high protein content of the mucoid material[1]
Mucinous cystadenoma of pancreas
- The tumor 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 heterogeneous is attenuation
- Internal septations may be present and tend to be linear or curvilinear
