Fig. 1C —71-year-old woman with ductal adenocarcinoma of body of pancreas with surgically proven retroperitoneal extension. Coronal multiplanar reformatted image reconstructed from axial MDCT images obtained during pancreatic parenchymal phase clearly shows hypoattenuated mass (arrows). Furthermore, there is evidence of disruption of inferior surface of pancreas and extension of hyperdense spicular structures into hypodense retroperitoneal fat (arrowheads). These findings indicate presence of retroperitoneal extension.
