A 61-year-old female with pancreatic cancer: conspicuity score (P/T AR) ≥ 2. a. Approximately 3-cm-sized hypovascular mass in the pancreatic tail is clearly visible on arterial phase contrast enhanced CT. b. Conspicuity score was 2.11, preoperative CA 19–9 was 39.28, and postoperative CA19–9 was 35.44. The tumor was considered borderline resectable due to abutment to left renal vessels. c. Early recurrence occurred at 3 months after surgery, and peritoneal seeding progressed despite adjuvant chemotherapy. She stopped chemotherapy and transferred to an outside hospital for supportive care
