Abstract: | OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to describe the CT findings of pancreatic lipomas in four patients. CONCLUSION: In all four cases, the lipoma was revealed incidentally on CT scans obtained for other reasons. CT scans were diagnostic, showing well-circumscribed masses within the pancreas composed almost entirely of fat, with a few scattered vessels or septa or both, which ranged in size from 1.4 x 2.0 cm to 4.5 x 5.3 cm in the axial plane. Pancreatic lipomas are rare, usually incidental tumors and, as with lipomas found elsewhere in the body, conservative management is often indicated. |
