The first abdominal MRI. Both MR T1 (A) and T2 weighted image (B) showed the atrophy of the pancreas and inhomogeneous signal change in the body and tail of the pancreas. Diffusion weighted image didn’t show the apparent tumor mass-related signal change (C). Gadolinium-enhanced T1 weighted images including early arterial phase (D), late arterial phase (E) and portal phase images (F), depicted multiple irregular hypointense signals without demonstrating a typical tumor imaging characteristics, which was regarded as an indeterminate lesion in the pancreas. A recommendation of imaging follow-up was made for the patient.
