So let's deal with each category one by one.
0:04
This is a serous tumor.
0:07
They are situated outside the duct, extraductal,
0:10
granular tumors, showing classical honeycomb
0:13
appearance because there are multiple cysts.
0:15
Those are measuring less than 2 centimeters.
0:18
Number of cysts are usually
0:19
more than six in number.
0:21
And they're usually situated in the
0:22
proximal pancreas and can demonstrate
0:24
central scarring or calcification.
0:29
So serous tumors are usually more than six cysts,
0:32
and less than 2 cm in size, and they demonstrate
0:34
thin septation, classical honeycombing appearance.
0:37
Mucinous tumors are less than six cysts,
0:40
more than 2 cm in size, and they
0:43
demonstrate thick and thin septations.
0:45
And serious tumor can be seen
0:46
with Von Hippel-Lindau Syndrome.
0:49
This is mucinous tumor in the
0:50
pancreatic tail, and we can see number
0:52
of cysts are less than 6 in number.
0:54
There are thick septations, and the
0:56
cysts are measuring more than 2 cm.
0:58
Mostly they are situated in the pancreatic
0:59
tail, and seen in middle-aged females.
1:03
These are SPN (Solid-pseudopapillary neoplasm) tumors.
1:05
And these are usually seen in
1:06
younger females, mostly in the tail,
1:08
but they can be situated anywhere.
1:10
But remember, SPN tumors are solid cystic.
1:12
They demonstrate hemorrhagic areas or
1:14
necrosis, but they can mimic sometimes
1:16
necrotic neuroendocrine tumor as well.
1:20
So we have to be very cautious
1:21
once we are calling it.
1:23
Once we see the patient age group, young female,
1:26
involving tail or distal pancreas, there is
1:29
hemorrhagic content on T1-weighted images,
1:31
then possibly we should lean towards this diagnosis.
1:33
If there is enhancement in the early
1:36
phase, specifically in the arterial phase,
1:39
and the parenchyma, which is not necrotic,
1:40
it is enhancing in the arterial phase,
1:42
that will lean towards neuroendocrine tumor.
1:45
And again, the age group will be
1:46
different, or it will be a male patient.
