Abstract

A 41-year-old man was referred to our unit because of the incidental finding of a hypoechoic lesion at the pancreatic genu during abdominal US. Magnetic resonance imaging confirmed the lesion, which was moderately T2 hyperintense, T1 hypointense, and diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) hyperintense, with initial contrast enhancement and final isointensity compared with the remaining parenchyma (A). The lesion also showed increased 18-fluorodeoxyglucose uptake at positron emission tomography/CT. Owing to the T2 and DWI hyperintensity and progressive and persistent filling in contrast medium study, a pancreatic hemangioma was suspected.
