Patient Data
Age: 75 years
Gender: Male
From the case:
Intrapancreatic accessory spleen
{"current_user":null,"step_through_annotations":true,"access":{"can_edit":false,"can_download":true,"can_toggle_annotations":true,"can_feature":false,"can_examine_pipeline_reports":false,"can_pin":false},"extraPropsURL":"/studies/59800/annotated_viewer_json?lang=us"}
At the end of the pancreatic tail, there is a solid formation of about 13 mm, exophytic, with regular margins and the same characteristic enhancement of the spleen.
From the case:
Intrapancreatic accessory spleen
{"current_user":null,"step_through_annotations":true,"access":{"can_edit":false,"can_download":true,"can_toggle_annotations":true,"can_feature":false,"can_examine_pipeline_reports":false,"can_pin":false},"extraPropsURL":"/studies/59801/annotated_viewer_json?lang=us"}
The formation described at pancreatic tail level in all sequences, particularly in DWI, shows the same spleen signal.

Case Discussion
The RM diffusion sequences are suspected for malformative lesion, with DWI and ADC signal identical to the spleen.
