Description
Summary:Since rare pancreatic cystic tumors may differ from common pancreatic cystic neoplasms in terms of treatment plan and prognosis, the differential diagnosis of these diseases is clinically relevant.

The purpose of this pictorial review is to present CT and in particular MR imaging features of rare pancreatic cystic tumors and discuss potential elements for differential diagnosis.
