title: Intraductal Papillary Mucinous Neoplasm of the Pancreas With High Malignant Potential on FDG PET/MRI.
abstract: A 57-year-old man underwent FDG PET/CT to evaluate a mass in the head of the pancreas. The imaged revealed mildly, nonuniformly increased activity in the mass, but the exact location of the activity could not be determined on the low-dose noncontrast CT portion of the study. On subsequent PET/MRI images acquired 60 minutes after the FDG PET/CT study, the increased activity was clearly localized on the cystic wall. The pathological examination showed that the lesion was intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm of the pancreas with high degree of dysplasia.
