Figure 1
Initial enhanced CT scan showed dilation of the main pancreatic duct (red arrows) in the body and tail, measuring 18 mm in diameter without clear solid mass or pathologic lymphadenopathy.
Figure 2
Figure 2
EUS shows that the intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm extends from the mid-body to the tail; red arrows highlight marked dilation of over 1 cm with thick walls and several epithelial-type mural nodules present.
Figure 3
Figure 3
Follow-up enhanced CT scan 6 months after initial chemoablation showed excellent results from the ablation. No radiographic evidence of the intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm was visible.
