Figure

• 

  Fig. 1 Abdominal computed tomography (CT). CT image shows about 6 cm sized multilobulated cystic lesion and low-density lesion at center in the head of pancreas.

• 

  Fig. 2 Pancreatic magnetic resonance images (MRI). (A) MRI shows multilocular cystic lesion with low-signal intensity lesion at center in head of pancreas on T1-weighted axial image (B), multilobular cystic lesion in head of pancreas on T2-weighted axial image. (C) Multilobular cystic lesion in head of pancreas with dilatation of bile and pancreatic duct on T2-weighted magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography.

• 

  Fig. 3 Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS). EUS image shows multilobulated cystic lesion with hypoechoic lesion at center in head of pancreas.

• 

  Fig. 4 Pathologic finding of surgical specimen. Microscopic finding of the tumor shows a cystic neoplasm composed of uniform glycogen-rich cuboidal cells lining numerous variable sized cysts (H&E, ×40).
