Multimodality imaging differentiation of pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors and solid pseudopapillary tumors with a nomogram model: A large single-center study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (pNETs) and solid pseudopapillary tumors (SPTs) are two of the most common pancreatic neoplasms with different treatment procedures. However, the broad heterogeneity of pNETs and SPTs in clinical manifestations and radiological features often confuse the presurgical discrimination in clinical practice, and the clinical and molecular differentiation of the two tumors remains elusive to date. We presume that a large and comprehensive study into the multimodality features of pNETs and SPTs is necessary for precise clinical management.

Methods

We collected and analyzed the clinicopathological information and multimodality features of nonfunctional pNET and SPT patients, for a total of 631 cases from 2006 to 2021. Univariate analysis of
