Overview

Findings on CT suggestive of mucinous cystadenocarcinoma include rounded or ovoid tumor, internal septations, and calcification.

Key CT Findings in Mucinous Cystadenocarcinoma

• CT may demonstrate high attenuation in some loculi due to the high protein content of the mucoid material

Mucinous cystadenoma of pancreas

• The tumour contour tends to be rounded or ovoid although this is not an absolutely specific feature
• Associated calcification when present tends to be more peripheral
• Contents of the lesion may be heterogeneous is attenuation
• Internal septations may be present and tend to be linear or curvilinear
