Objective To comparatively analyze the image features of tumorous acute pancreatitis (T-AP) and non-tumorous acute pancreatitis (NT-AP). Methods Sixteen cases of histopathologically proven pancreatic tumors inducing acute pancreatitis and 30 cases of non-tumorous acute pancreatitis were collected, and studied their CT and MRI features. Results There were 16 cases (100%) with focal nodules or masses in T-AP group and none in NT-AP group. The average innerdiameter of main pancreatic ducts in T-AP group was (9.6±6.8) mm, in which 14 cases (87.5%) were dilated. And the average innerdiameter of main pancreatic ducts in NT-AP group was (2.9±0.9) mm, in which 7 cases (23.3%) were dilated. The cases of sinistral portal hypertension (SPH), accompanying cholelithiasis and lymphadenosis between the two groups were 10 (62.5%), 3 (18.8%), 14 (87.5%), and 1 (3.4%), 25 (83.3%), 30 (100%), respectively. The occurrence of manifestation of focal nodules or masses, dilated main pancreatic ducts, SPH, and accompanying cholelithiasis were significantly different (P=0.000) between T-AP and NT-AP groups. While, the differences in enhancement pattern and the occurrence of lymphadenosis between the two groups were not significant (P > 0.05). Conclusion The image features of T-AP are various. The application of CT and MRI could provide effective diagnostic guidelines for patients with T-AP.
