Abstract

The focus of the review is on mesenchymal pancreatic tumors with intermediate biological behavior and their imaging appearance. Similar to benign and malignant mesenchymal pancreatic tumors, these tumors are extremely rare. The diagnosis is often confirmed only by postoperative histology. The very limited data on abdominal ultrasound and EUS findings including contrast-enhanced techniques of these pancreatic lesions are summarized here.
