So here we see dilated duct in this patient
0:03
with some side branches, and as we follow
0:06
this duct, it becomes more prominent in the
0:08
pancreatic body and the pancreatic head.
0:11
And in this particular location, if we
0:12
measure this duct, it is one centimeter.
0:16
So that falls in the category that suspicion
0:18
of cancer in this case is very, very high.
0:20
One centimeter or more pancreatic
0:21
duct is always very worrisome.
0:24
And then what we see here, if we follow
0:26
this duct further in the pancreatic
0:28
head, it is even more prominent, though
0:31
it drains normally in the major papilla.
0:34
But in addition to that, what we see, there are
0:37
few more cystic lesions in the pancreatic head.
0:40
Those are multilocular, which have citation,
0:44
and those are situated anterior to this duct.
0:49
So here, overall, the picture is not very rosy.
0:54
As we go to the corona and pay attention
0:57
to these ducts, again, we have some
0:59
more lesions in the pancreatic tail.
1:00
Those are looking multilocular and multi-lobulated.
1:04
But as we follow these ducts forward
1:06
in the pancreatic head and the body
1:08
The duct even here is even more prominent,
1:12
so obviously more than one centimeter here.
1:14
And as we reach to the pancreatic head here
1:17
or the periampullary region, we see the
1:19
CBD which is also prominent and dilated.
1:22
And again, the gallbladder here is missing.
1:25
So this dilated duct, CBD can be just because of
1:28
missing gallbladder, but what about this duct?
1:31
This is obviously abnormal.
1:33
And then we are seeing cystic
1:35
lesion in the pancreatic head.
1:36
So seeing multiloculated lesion in the
1:38
pancreatic head with possible Dilated CBD
1:41
and this one centimeter or more CBD, uh,
1:44
pancreatic duct is very, very worrisome.
1:46
And that is going to be a case of
1:48
main duct IPMN, let's see how it
1:50
looks on the post-contrast images.
1:53
Do we see any enhancement within the duct?
1:55
Possibly not, but the caliber
1:58
itself is highly worrisome.
2:01
And those lesions which we have seen
2:02
anteriorly are also showing some
2:05
enhancing thick septations inside.
2:08
And if we measure that particular
2:10
lesion, that is almost 2.7 centimeters.
2:13
53 00:02:14,820 --> 00:02:17,330 So, that falls in the category where we, we
2:17
are almost in the range of 3 cm or closer,
2:20
and we have thick internal enhancing septations.
2:23
So, both of these lesions are suspicious,
2:26
and they should be referred to surgery now.
2:29
So, here we can see on post-contrast images,
2:32
the lesion which is situated anteriorly along
2:34
with the pancreatic head is multiloculated
2:36
and demonstrates thick enhancing septation.
2:39
So, this is most likely a side branch IPMN,
2:43
which is situated along with
2:44
the main branch, branch IPMN.
2:46
So, this will be called a mixed type
2:48
of IPMN together, main and side branch.
2:51
So, in addition to that, we have
2:52
some incidental findings here.
2:53
For example, in the apicycstic region,
2:55
we are seeing a fat-containing and
2:57
ball-containing hernia, and there are
2:59
some incidental cysts in the liver here.
