[Two cases of solid and cystic tumor of the pancreas (including one case of MRI)].
Solid and cystic tumor of pancreas is an uncommon neoplasm which is histologically low grade malignant but amenable to cure by surgical excision. It tends to occur in young women. US and CT depict a well circumscribed mass that can be solid, mixed solid and cystic and largely cystic. Their ratio depends on the degree of hemorrhage and necrosis. Angiography shows a mildly to moderately vascular mass which corresponds to solid parts. MRI is useful to detect the hemorrhage which is common in this tumor.
