Abstract

Background/objectives: To evaluate the agreement between the imaging modalities MRI-MRCP and EUS in cystic lesions of the pancreas which were thought to be a BD-IPMN. Methods: Multicenter retrospective study included all patients between 2010 and 2015 with a suspected BD-IPMN who underwent an EUS and MRI-MRCP within 6 months or less of each other. Location, number, size, worrisome features and high-risk stigmata were evaluated. Interobserver agreement was evaluated by Kappa score. Results 173 patients were included (97 UHSC, 76 UCLH-RFH), mean age 65 (range 25–87 years), 66 males. When comparing both modalities there was good agreement for the location of the cyst. The median lesion size was larger by MRI-MRCP than EUS although it was not significant. With regards to worrisome features, there was moderate agreement for main PD of 5–9 mm and abrupt change (k = 0.45 and 0.52). Fair agreement was seen for the cyst wall thickening (k = 0.25). No agreement was seen between the presence of non-enhanced mural nodules or lymphadenopathy (k < 0). With regards to high-risk stigmata, poor agreement was obtained for the detection of an enhanced solid component (k = 0.12). No agreement was observed for main PD > 10 mm (k < 0). Conclusions In this multicentre study of patients with a BD-IPMN under active surveillance, most disagreement between these modalities was seen in the proximal pancreas. There was generally only minimal concordance between the imaging findings of EUS and MRI-MRCP for the detection of high-risk stigmata and worrisome features.
