Multiple-phase spiral CT findings of pancreatic vasoactive intestinal peptide-secreting tumor: A case report.

Abstract:

:The present study reports a case of pancreatic vasoactive intestinal peptide-secreting tumor (VIPoma), of 2.2 cm in diameter, arising from the region of the uncus of the pancreas with liver metastases in a 50-year-old patient, which demonstrated unusual multiple-phase spiral computed tomography (MPSCT) results. The pancreatic lesion was isodense compared with the pancreatic parenchyma. During the hepatic artery phase and portal venous phase, the mass was hypodense compared with the enhanced pancreas, with the mean CT attenuation (HU) values being 56 HU and 66 HU, respectively. During the hepatic parenchymal phase, the mass became hyperdense with the mean CT attenuation values being 74 HU. The process of contrast-enhanced MPSCT demonstrated progressive strengthening. Pancreaticoduodenectomy and wedge resection of a number of the liver metastases was performed. There are only a limited number of studies reporting CT findings of pancreatic VIPoma and no MPSCT findings have been described previously.
