Abstract

Pancreatic tumors are an increasingly common finding in abdominal imaging. Various kinds of pathologies of the pancreas are well known, butit often remains difficult to classify the lesions radiologically in respect of type and grade of malignancy. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) isthe method of choice for the evaluation of pancreatic pathologies due to its superior soft tissue contrast. In this article we present a selection of lesscommon malignant and potentially malignant pancreatic neoplasms with their characteristic appearance on established MRI sequences with andwithout contrast enhancement.
