Figure 14a.

Pancreatic MCN in a 28-year-old woman with early satiety and increasing abdominal girth. (a) Axial contrast-enhanced CT image shows a large multiloculated thin-walled cystic mass in the anterior left upper quadrant with thin septa (arrowhead) and a solid nodular component (arrow). (b) Axial T2-weighted image shows a similar imaging appearance, with improved conspicuity of an additional solid nodule (curved arrow). Straight arrow = solid nodular component in a, arrowhead = septa. (c) Histologic image of the cyst wall shows columnar mucin-producing epithelium (arrowhead) with underlying ovarian stroma (*), a diagnostic feature of MCN. (H-E stain; original magnification, ×100.)
