Figure 33.   Intraductal papillary mucinous tumor in patient presenting with recurrent pancreatitis. (A) Unenhanced CT at the level of the head of the pancreas shows a well-delineated hypoattenuating lesion (arrow) not extending to the peripancreatic fat. (B) Corresponding MRCP image shows a pancreas divisum with a minute communication (arrow) in conjunction with a homogeneous, hyperintense lobulated lesion (*) in the ventral pancreas. (C) Coronal fat-suppressed HASTE T2-weighted image more clearly demonstrates communication of the lesion with the duct (arrow).
