Popis: Purpose: The present study aimed to compare the computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) features of solid pseudopapillary neoplasms (SPNs) and pancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasms (pNENs). Method: Lesion imaging features of 39 patients with SPNs and 127 patients with pNENs were retrospectively extracted from 104 CT and 91 MRI scans. Results: Compared to pNEN patients, SPN patients were significantly younger (mean age 51.8 yrs versus 32.7 yrs) and more often female (female: male ratio, 5.50:1 versus 1.19:1). Most SPNs and pNENs presented as well-defined lesions with an expansive growth pattern. SPNs more often appeared as round or ovoid lesions, compared to pNENs which showed a lobulated or irregular shape in more than half of cases (p
