Lesions can be rather large at presentation ( 5 cm). Associations von Hippel Lindau (vHL) disease : can be multiple or diffuse and present at a younger age Location Lesions are distributed throughout the pancreas. [radiopaedia.org]

Localized Pain
The chief complaints are abdominal mass with associated local pain and discomfort but in some cases they may be asymptomatic [3]. Grossly the tumor is large, multiloculated with sharply outlined cysts filled with clear fluid. [medresearch.in]

It typically occurs in elderly adults Most tumors do not cause any signs and symptoms, but in some individuals, there may be abdominal pain, indigestion, and loss of appetite due to the tumor Complications that arise from Intraductal Tubular Adenoma of [dovemed.com]
Clinical manifestation may include epigastric or abdominal pain, weight loss, diabetes, jaundice and palpable abdominal mass. Some patients have no symptoms and the tumor is discovered incidentally. [rarediseases.info.nih.gov]

However, the first test performed is usually ultrasonography, because the typical presenting symptom is abdominal pain and/or nausea. [3, 9, 10, 11, 12] Endoscopic ultrasonography allows high-resolution evaluation of cyst morphology. [emedicine.medscape.com]
Patients with symptoms usually manifest abdominal pain, weight loss, nausea, vomiting, fever and a palpable abdominal mass ( 2, 12 ). If the tumors are large, they may result in obstructive symptoms such as jaundice. [spandidos-publications.com]
Like pancreatic adenocarcinoma, islet cell tumors may cause abdominal pain, weight loss, nausea, and vomiting. [webmd.com]
The signs and symptoms may include the following: Abdominal pain, back pain Loss of appetite Weight loss Indigestion Yellowing of skin (jaundice) Nausea and vomiting Dark-colored urine Fatigue (getting tired easily) General features of Intraductal Tubular [dovemed.com]

Odynophagia
We present the case of a 66-year-old woman with complaints of odynophagia but normal gastro-oesophagoscopic findings. On computed tomographic examination, a presumptive diagnosis of a cystic liver tumor and a microcystic pancreatic adenoma was made. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Epigastric Mass
Two of them also had a palpable epigastric mass and one of them diabetes mellitus. They were treated surgically with total excision of the tumor. During surgery and thereafter no evidence of spreading beyond the pancreas was found. [link.springer.com]
Skin

Skin Discoloration
The mass was not fixed, and there was no skin discoloration associated with it. The patient’s complete blood count, liver function panel, amylase level, lipase level, and tumor markers were within normal limits. [gastroenterologyandhepatology.net]
Musculoskeletal

Arthritis
His past medical history was significant for hypertension, arthritis and chronic back pain. On computed tomography scan he was found to have a heterogeneously enhancing solid mass at the junction of the head and body of the pancreas (Figure 1 ). [wjso.biomedcentral.com]

Withdrawn
One week later, duodenoscopy was performed and no evidence of remaining tumor was seen, and the pancreatic stent was withdrawn. [wjgnet.com]
Workup
In comparison, CT is superior in lesion depiction and characterization, and it is the preferred imaging modality in the initial workup of pancreatic lesions. [emedicine.medscape.com]
The third, a 4 cm solid mass at the junction of the pancreatic head and body, was found incidentally on workup for an unrelated problem in a 69 year-old male. [wjso.biomedcentral.com]
Provides all the necessary tools to make a comprehensive diagnostic workup including data from ancillary techniques and molecular findings whenever appropriate. [books.google.es]
If on the unenhanced-CT the density is equal to or below 10 HU the lesion is considered to be an adenoma and no further workup is neccessary If the density is more than 10 HU the wash out should be calculated. [radiologyassistant.nl]
