Abstract

This prospective study enrolled patients with pathologically confirmed solid pseudopapillary tumors (SPNs) and pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (pNENs) who underwent preoperative tomoelastography examinations at our hospital. Sixty-four patients were included (18 patients with SPNs; 46 patients with pNENs). SPNs showed significantly lower stiffness (P<0.001) and fluidity (P=0.001) than pNENs. Both stiffness and fluidity allowed distinguishing SPNs from pNENs. AUCs were 0.899 for stiffness, 0.760 for fluidity. Tomoelastography is a novel multi-frequency MRE technique that can facilitate the differentiation between SPNs and pNENs.
