It is interesting to note that mural nodules are mainly observed in in situ IPMN (93%) whereas a pancreatic mass is mainly found in invasive carcinoma (89.5%). The presence of mural nodules has been reported in 18.5% to 50% of IPMNs. The tumor's appearance on CT seems to be ...
17). PAPC can also appear in an ultrasound examination as a cyst with a mural nodule or thick partitions. Most of the time, the wall thickening and thickened septa within a mammary cyst are the consequence of benign lesions (papillary apocrine metaplasia, clots). The presence of a dilated ...
Combining parameters yielded a sensitivity of 0.743 and specificity of 0.906. PET holds the most promise in identifying malignant transformation within an IPMN. Combining parameters increases sensitivity and specificity; the presence of mural nodule on imaging was the most sensitive whereas raised serum ...

growth is unlikely to occur before 2 yr of the baseline evaluation, and we suggest that the optimal imaging interval during follow-up of these patients should be at 2 yr from the baseline evaluation, particularly in cystic lesions 3.0 cm or less in size and without intracystic or mural ...
Nevertheless, morphological features such as a round mural nodule, a high height-to-width ratio, and a focal growth pattern may help distinguish the first from the second [79]. Further studies are vital to substantiate the appliance of MRI in EAOC diagnosis, most pertinently distinguishing ...
