The incidental pancreatic lesion is most likely.
Well, I see a cystic lesion in the body of a pancreas
and this atrophy of the distal gland and this ductilitation.
The truth is this could be a musinous tumor,
great location if the patient was in their 40s.
It could be a cystic neuroendocrine tumor, again,
not all neuroendocrine tumors are vascular,
but with cystic neuroendocrine, I still like to see some room enhancement.
I don't see that, but it's a possibility.
Another possibility, of course, would be an IPMN.
That's a cystic lesion and with the atrophy of the gland
and dilated duct, you would then have to be concerned about a malignancy.
Syracist adenomas can vary, right?
We talk about an incidental syracist adenomas that can be large.
You can have ductilitation, calcification,
particularly central calcification is common.
I have to admit, this is a tough case.
You're going to need EUS and biopsy and this ended up being a syracist adenoma.
But if you set a musinous cystic neoplasm,
I'm going to give you full credit as well.
It's just a tough case and that's why we do pathology.
