Pancreatic lipomas are reported to be rare but their prevalence is unknown. This study examined the prevalence of pancreatic lipomas in a sample of patients undergoing abdominal computed tomography.
MATERIAL/METHODS: Retrospective review of 100 abdominal computed tomographic scans.
In 6 patients small pancreatic lipomas were found. There was no predominance in location or gender. The lipomas measured between 4 and 12 mm. All lipomas were incidental findings unrelated to patients' symptoms.
Pancreatic lipomas seem to be quite a common finding and can be found in 6% of patients undergoing abdominal CT. Radiologists should be aware of this finding to establish proper differential diagnosis.
据报道胰腺脂肪瘤很罕见，但其患病率尚不清楚。本研究在接受腹部计算机断层扫描的患者样本中检查了胰腺脂肪瘤的患病率。
材料/方法：对100例腹部计算机断层扫描进行回顾性分析。
在6例患者中发现了小的胰腺脂肪瘤。在位置或性别上没有优势。脂肪瘤大小在4至12毫米之间。所有脂肪瘤均为偶然发现，与患者症状无关。
胰腺脂肪瘤似乎是相当常见的发现，在接受腹部CT检查的患者中6%可发现。放射科医生应意识到这一发现以建立正确的鉴别诊断。
