View larger version (112K): [in a new window]   Fig. 1A. —29-year-old woman with pancreatoblastoma. Contrast-enhanced axial CT image shows a well-defined mass (white arrow) with cystic and enhancing solid components in the body of the pancreas.

View larger version (42K): [in a new window]   Fig. 1B. —29-year-old woman with pancreatoblastoma. Sonographic image of the pancreas body shows a well-defined, hypoechoic mass (white arrow) and hyperechoic rim demonstrating Doppler flow.

View larger version (117K): [in a new window]   Fig. 1C. —29-year-old woman with pancreatoblastoma. T2-weighted image shows pancreatic mass with a 3-mm-thick low signal rim (black arrow) and high signal center (white arrow), indicating a cystic component.

View larger version (119K): [in a new window]   Fig. 1D. —29-year-old woman with pancreatoblastoma. Unenhanced fat saturated T1-weighted image shows pancreatic mass with intermediate signal rim (black arrow) and low to intermediate signal intensity centrally (white arrow).

View larger version (106K): [in a new window]   Fig. 1E. —29-year-old woman with pancreatoblastoma. Dynamic contrast-enhanced fat saturated T1-weighted images in arterial (E), portal (F), and equilibrium phases (G) show early and persistent enhancement within rim of pancreatic mass. Central portion of mass does not enhance.

View larger version (113K): [in a new window]   Fig. 1F. —29-year-old woman with pancreatoblastoma. Dynamic contrast-enhanced fat saturated T1-weighted images in arterial (E), portal (F), and equilibrium phases (G) show early and persistent enhancement within rim of pancreatic mass. Central portion of mass does not enhance.

View larger version (106K): [in a new window]   Fig. 1G. —29-year-old woman with pancreatoblastoma. Dynamic contrast-enhanced fat saturated T1-weighted images in arterial (E), portal (F), and equilibrium phases (G) show early and persistent enhancement within rim of pancreatic mass. Central portion of mass does not enhance.

View larger version (29K): [in a new window]   Fig. 1H. —29-year-old woman with pancreatoblastoma. Time-intensity curves of the enhancement pattern show the rim of the mass and demonstrate early and persistent enhancement more than normal pancreatic parenchyma, with little enhancement centrally.

View larger version (102K): [in a new window]   Fig. 1I. —29-year-old woman with pancreatoblastoma. Gross photograph of tumor shows a well-circumscribed solid mass (arrow) with central necrosis.

View larger version (162K): [in a new window]   Fig. 1J. —29-year-old woman with pancreatoblastoma. Photomicrograph of viable portion of tumor shows tumor cells arranged in nests and trabeculae with focal glandular features (arrow). (H and E, x 100)
