520 3 |a Purpose: To evaluate the multimodality imaging features of non-hyperfunctioning pancreatic endocrine tumors (NF-PNET) with histopathological correlation. Methods: Preoperative imaging (CT: n=23; MRI: n=14; 111In-octreotide: n=8) of 28 patients (17 female; mean age 55years) with resected NF-PNET were evaluated for tumor location, size, morphology, attenuation/signal intensity, 111In-octreotide uptake, cystic degeneration, and enhancement. Tissue specimens were assessed for the extent of stromal fibrosis, vascular density, presence of a fibrous pseudocapsule, and tumor grading. Correlation between imaging and histopathology was made using the Fisher-Freeman-Halton exact test. Results: NF-PNET arose from the pancreatic head/neck (n=10), body (n=7), and tail (n=11). On CT, NF-PNET (mean largest diameter: 4.4cm) appeared predominantly solid (69.6%), well defined (91.3%), and oval (47.8%) in shape. In the late arterial phase, NF-PNET appeared mainly hypovascular (55.5%). Septations (30.4%) and calcifications (21.7%) were relatively uncommon. On MRI, NF-PNET (mean size: 2.6cm) appeared most commonly as solid (57.1%), encapsulated (71.4%), oval (64.2%) lesions that were hyperintense on T2-WI (64.3%), and hypo- or isovascular to pancreas (66.7%) during the late arterial phase. Cystic NF-PNET (3.8cm) were not significantly larger than solid (3.5cm) NF-PNET (CT, p=0.758; MRI, p=0.451). 111In-octreotide uptake was demonstrated in 5/8 (62.5%) patients. At histopathology, NF-PNET were predominantly encapsulated (69.2%); stromal fibrosis comprised <33% of the tumor (69.2%), and vascular density was average (46.1%). A significant association was demonstrated between the degree of fibrosis and hypointensity on T2-WI (p=0.003). Vascular density, tumor grade, and degree of fibrosis did not significantly relate to the pattern of enhancement. Conclusions: NF-PNETs have variable imaging appearances but are most commonly oval shaped, solid, and well-defined/encapsulated masses, and hypovascular on late arterial and portal venous phase. Cystic degeneration in NF-PNET appears independent of tumor size. Low signal intensity on T2-WI correlates with extensive intratumoral fibrosis.
