MFCP of the tail (35 y, female). a Incidental note of an pancreatic tail mass (arrow) is made during CT angiography. There are multiple stippled calcification in the tail. b, c T1w GRE fatsat images show normal SI of the body and markedly low SI of the tail (arrow). d MRCP shows a stricture at the junction of pancreatic body and tail (arrow) and two fluid collections in the tail (arrowheads). e Gadolinium-enhanced image shows hypovascular mass and minimal ductal dilatation in the mass (arrow). The two small fluid collections adjacent to the pancreas are pseudocysts (arrowheads). Clues to the diagnosis of MFCP are lack of a duct-obstructing mass at the stricture at the junction of body and tail, presence of pseudocysts and parenchymal calcifications (at CT)
