Abstract

The case involves a 74-year-old female with type 2 diabetes (T2D). HbA1c remained stable at 6% until summer 2019, but suddenly worsened to 8.4% in autumn 2019 without a certain reason. An abdominal CT scan detected a probable pancreatic tumor, which required further evaluation. Contrast-enhanced images of the arterial, portal vein, and equilibrium phase showed no staining, slight staining, and strong staining, respectively. The application of Curved Planar Reconstruction (CPR) has revealed an apparent pancreatic tumor image with three different stainings, associated with a dilated main pancreatic duct (MPD) in the pancreas body and tail and a normal MPD in the pancreas head. Consequently, CPR would be useful for diagnosis.
