The second edition of this atlas focuses on imaging methods and
techniques, new diagnostic concepts and therapeutic approaches in
management of pancreatic neoplasms. Although interest in pancreatic
pathology is very high in the radiological and gastroenterological
communities, less is known about it than about, for example, liver
pathology. Diagnosis depends on the structure of the pancreatic
lesion, which can be directly visualized in US, CT or MR images.
The book's focus is very much on the imaging and pathological
appearances, with most of the text concentrated at the beginning of
the book followed by images gallery. A comprehensive overview is
provided of typical and atypical presentations and diverse aspects
of common and rare pancreatic tumors, including ductal
adenocarcinomas with dedicated chapter to ductal adenocarcinoma
downstaging, neuroendocrine neoplasms, cystic pancreatic neoplasms
and intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms. The Verona "Pancreas
Centre," the first institute of its kind in Italy and one of very
few in the world, pursues an interdisciplinary approach to treating
the problems of this organ, focusing on the patient, on research,
and on teaching. A dedicated center that can look back on 40 years
of tradition, many of its respected specialists have made essential
contributions in surgery, gastroenterology, oncology, pathology,
and radiology. Given its scope, this atlas will be an invaluable
asset, helping radiologists understand the underlying pathology and
helping pancreatic pathologists understand the imaging translation.
