Fig. 1A —60-year-old woman with abdominal pain of 2 months' duration and suspected pancreatic mass as found on sonography performed at outside hospital. Axial unenhanced CT scan shows ovoid, low-attenuation lesion with bulging contour (arrows) in anterior aspect of head of pancreas. Attenuation value of lesion is -17 H.
