Solid and XXXX of the pancreas: CT findings.

@entity1 @entity788 @entity2785 @entity548 @entity5 @entity730
Five female @entity1 and one male @entity1 with solid and @entity2785 of the pancreas were examined with computed tomography (CT). The mean age of the @entity1 was 27 years (range, 13-46 years). All cases showed well-encapsulated, round or lobulated masses consisting of both cystic and solid areas. Cystic portions showed CT numbers that suggested @entity548 . There were no internal septations within the masses. In three @entity5 located in the head of the pancreas, dilatation of the biliary tree was absent or minimal, although the masses were large. Two @entity5 contained @entity730 . One @entity5 demonstrated metastatic deposits in liver and lymph nodes. Metastatic masses appeared similar to the primary pancreatic mass. Solid and @entity788 should be the primary diagnostic consideration when characteristic CT findings are detected in a young female @entity1 .
