Fig. 1From: Urgent distal pancreatectomy for intraperitoneal hemorrhage due to the spontaneous rupture of a pancreatic metastatic tumor from synovial sarcoma: a case reportRadiological findings of the pancreatic tail tumor. Non-contrast abdominal computed tomography (CT) reveals a large, 35-mm tumor in the pancreatic tail without calcification (arrow) (a). Contrast-enhanced CT shows that the tumor had heterogeneous contrast enhancement without bleeding (arrow) (b). Abdominal magnetic resonance imaging reveals that the pancreatic tail tumor (arrow) presented as a low signal area on the T1-weighted image (c), a slightly hyperintense tumor containing multiple cystic components on the T2-weighted image (d), and a high signal area on the diffusion-weighted image (e). Positron emission tomography CT indicates abnormal fluorine-18 fluorodeoxyglucose accumulation only in the pancreatic tail tumor (f)Back to article page
