Popis: To determine imaging findings of pancreatic adenocarcinomas incidentally detected on contrast-enhanced multiphasic dynamic computed tomography (CT) obtained during the follow-up for other diseases. From January 2007 to December 2018, 14 patients with pancreatic adenocarcinomas incidentally detected on CT obtained during the follow-up for other diseases (incidental group) and 105 patients with pancreatic adenocarcinomas symptomatically detected on ultrasound or CT (non-incidental group) were included. Imaging characteristics of the tumor were compared between the two groups. Additionally, imaging findings prior to the detection of a tumor on previous CT images in the incidental group were also assessed. In cancers of the pancreas body/tail, there was a significantly smaller tumor size (median, 17 mm vs. 42 mm, p
