Two cases with papillary cystic neoplasm of the pancreas are reviewed and discussed. Up to recently, the tumors have been misclassified as nonfunctioning islet cell tumor or carcinoma, acinar cell carcinoma, papillary cystadenocarcinoma, or pancreatoblastoma. It frequently has been managed with aggressive surgery such as pancreatoduodenectomy. The tumors are well encapsulated and the cut surfaces are characteristically solid and hemorrhagic. Ultrasonography and CT scan are the most useful tools for the diagnosis. The neoplasms usually behave like a very low grade malignancy, so complete removal is the treatment of choice for the tumor arising anywhere in the pancreas. We have a boy and a girl who have papillary cystic neoplasm. The boy was 12 years old and the girl was 14 years old. Both underwent distal pancreatectomy and the progress were uneventful.

Solid and papillary cystic neoplasm of pancreas is an uncommon low grade malignant tumor. It is predominant in young female between the second and third decades of life, and amenable to cure by surgical treatment. The authors report two cases of solid and papillary neoplasm of pancreas pathologically verified at Kyung Hee University Hospital. The first case was an 11-years old female patient and the other case was a 12-years old male. Symptoms were abdominal discomfort, nausea and vomiting in both cases and abdominal pain in the female patient. CT finding included a solid and papillary neoplasm of pancreas. The mass was well-demarcated with solid and cystic necrosis components. In the female patient, a large hematoma was found. Gross findings revealed apparent encapsulation, cystic degeneration and hemorrhagic necrosis. Microscopically the tumors were characterized by distinctive solid and papillary patterns of cellular arrangement without local invasion. Both patients were discharged after surgery and followed up without any problem.

Incidental pancreatic cystic lesions are a common challenge encountered by diagnostic radiologists. Specifically, given the prevalence of benign pancreatic cystic lesions, determining when to recommend aggressive actions such as surgical resection or endoscopic ultrasound with sampling is difficult. In this article, we review the common types of cystic pancreatic lesions including serous cystadenoma, intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm, and mucinous cystic neoplasm with imaging examples of each. We also discuss high-risk or worrisome imaging features that warrant a referral to a surgeon or endoscopist and provid several examples of these features. These imaging features adhere to the latest guidelines from the International Consensus Guidelines, American Gastroenterological Association (2015), American College of Gastroenterology (2018), American College of Radiology (2010, 2017), and European Guidelines (2013, 2018). Our focused article addresses the imaging dilemma of managing incidental cystic pancreatic lesions, weighing the options between imaging follow-up and aggressive interventions.

In 2010, the World Health Organization classified mucin-producing bile duct tumors of the liver into two distinct entities; mucinous cystic neoplasm of the liver (MCN-L) and intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm of the bile duct. We present the case of a patient with MCN-L having a uniquely pedunculated shape. A 32-year-old woman was referred to our institution with a diagnosis of biliary cystic neoplasm. She had undergone left salpingo-oophorectomy for ovarian cancer 15 years ago. Imaging studies showed an 8 cm-sized well defined, multiloculated cystic lesion suggesting a mucinous cystic neoplasm. The cystic mass was pedunculated at the liver capsule and pathologically diagnosed as MCN-L. The mass was resected with partial hepatectomy. The patient recovered uneventfully. She was discharged 7 days postoperatively. The patient has been doing well for 6 months after the operation. The patient will be followed up annually because of the favorable postresection prognosis of MCN-L.

A 61-year-old male who complained of right upper quadrant pain was referred to the authors for evaluation after his computed tomography suggested biliary adenocarcinoma. The lesion consisted of multiple cysts with papillary mass and peri-ampullay mass. The patient underwent an operation due to a clinical suspicion of biliary cystadenocarcinoma, but the pathology confirmed biliary papillomatosis (BP) after diagnosing intrahepatic papillary neoplasm with high-grade dysplasia and invasive adenocarcinoma with papillary neoplasm from the distal common bile duct to the duodenum. BP is a disease characterized by multiple papillary masses. Its cause has yet to be discovered. It commonly manifests as bile duct dilation but rarely as a ductal cystic change. Under computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging, both the BP and the cystic neoplasm can show bile duct dilation and a papillary mass, which makes their differential diagnosis difficult. A confirmative diagnosis can be made through a pathologic examination. BP is classified as a benign disease that can become malignant and may recur, though rarely. Its treatment of choice is surgical resection. Laser ablation or photodynamic therapy can be used for unresectable lesions. In the case featured in this paper, biliary papillomatosis was difficult to differentiate from cystic adenocarcinoma due to diffusely scattered multiple large cystic lesions in the liver, and it was histologically confirmed to have become malignant with cystic duct dilation after the operation. This case is reported herein with a literature review.

Solid and papillary epithelial neoplasm (SPEN) of the pancreas is a rare tumor with low malignant potentiality that usually occurs in young females. Preoperative evaluation, especially radiologic tests, including ultrasonography and CT scan, is helpful in the diagnosis. These studies demonstrate a well-demarcated large mass with solid and cystic portions, frequently in the tail or body of the pancreas. Complete resection is usually curative, however local invasion and/or metastasis may occur. The authors report a case of a solid and papillary epithelial neoplasm of the pancreatic body in a 14-year old child at St. Benedict Hospital and review the literature.

There are various diseases of the gallbladder and cystic duct, and imaging diagnosis is challenging for the rare among them. However, some rare diseases show characteristic imaging findings or patient history; therefore, familiarity with the imaging presentation of rare diseases may improve diagnostic accuracy and patient management. The purpose of this article is to describe the imaging findings of rare diseases of the gallbladder and cystic duct and identify their pathological correlations with these diseases.

심한 호흡곤란을 주소로 내원한 67세 남자의 영상소견상 종격동의 거대 낭성 종양이 기관을 압박하여 편이시키는 소견이 보여 응급 개흉술을 통해 종양을 절제하였다. 조직 소견상 갑상선의 유두상 암종에 합당하였고 수술 후 시행한 갑상선 초음파 검사와 양성자 단층촬영상 잠재성 갑상선 암종에 합당한 소견을 보였다. 갑상선의 유두상 암종이 초기에 원격 전이를 보이는 경우는 드물며 대부분 단독 결절의 형태를 취하나, 잠재성 암종이 종격동에 거대 낭성 전이를 하는 경우는 극히 드물어 보고하는 바이다.

Papillary cystadenoma is a rare, benign salivary gland neoplasm containing cystic cavities with intraluminal papillary projections. In the head and neck area, it occurs mainly in major and intraoral minor salivary glands, but rarely in the larynx. We report a case of a 67-year-old female with a chief complaint of hoarse voice diagnosed as laryngeal papillary cystadenoma. This paper emphasizes the need to consider papillary cystadenoma as one of differential diagnosis when benign looking lesions are observed in the larynx, where it uncommonly occurs.
