Figure 3. A 72-year-old man with an insulinoma in the tail of the pancreas. This lesion shows the unusual signal intensity pattern, with high signal on the fat saturated T1 weighted spin echo image. (a) Fat saturated T1 weighted spin echo image (TR/TE 500/16 ms) shows high signal intensity in this insulinoma (curved white arrow). (b) T2 weighted fast spin echo image (TR/TE 6000/102 ms) shows the insulinoma has a low intensity rim with an intermediate intensity centre (curved black arrow). (c) Contrast enhanced CT shows a markedly vascular tumour (arrow) in the tail of the pancreas.
