概要 AIM:To clarify the computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) characteristics of lipid-rich pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (PanNETs).METHODS:Enhanced CT and MRI performed before pancreatectomy in 29 patients with 34 histologically-confirmed PanNETs was retrospectively reviewed. Tumor attenuation on CT and signal intensities on conventional (T1- and T2-weighted) and chemical shift MRI were qualitatively analyzed and compared alongside adipose differentiation-related protein (ADRP) immunostaining (ADRP-positive: lipid-rich; ADRP-negative: non-lipid-rich) results using Fisher's exact test or the Mann-Whitney U test. Signal intensity index on chemical shift MRI was quantitatively assessed.RESULTS:There were 15 lipid-rich PanNETs (44.1%) in 12 patients (41.4%). Tumor attenuation during the early, portal venous, and delayed phases of enhanced CT (P = 0.888, 0.443, and 0.359, respectively) and signal intensities on conventional MRI (P = 0.698 and 0.798, respectively) were not significantly different between lipid-rich and non-lipid-rich PanNETs. Four of the 15 lipid-rich PanNETs exhibited high signal intensity on subtraction chemical shift MRI, and the association of high signal intensity on subtraction imaging with lipid-rich PanNETs was significant (4 of 15 lipid-rich PanNETs, 26.73%, vs 0 of 19 non-lipid-rich PanNETs, 0%, P = 0.029). Lipid-rich PanNETs showed a significantly higher signal intensity index than non-lipid-rich PanNETs (0.6% ± 14.1% vs -10.4% ± 14.4%, P = 0.004). Eight of 15 lipid-rich PanNETs, vs 0 of 19 non-lipid-rich PanNETs, had positive signal intensity index values in concordance with lipid contents.CONCLUSION:CT contrast enhancement and conventional MR signal intensities are similar in lipid-rich and non-lipid-rich PanNETs. Chemical shift MRI can demonstrate cytoplasmic lipids in PanNETs.
