A, B Cyst with heterogeneous, some un-enhanced components, which was bordered on pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (A MRI, T1-weighted image, arterial phase, B HASTE-MRI, arrows). C Microscopically, the cyst wall was composed of granulation tissue, enzymatic concretions, inflammation and evolving fibrosis, the characteristic elements typical of pseudocysts, with scattered carcinoma cells invading into the fibro-inflammatory cyst wall (H&E stain).
