Ultrasonographic diagnosis for pancreatic neoplasms

[Diagnosis and treatment of pancreatic cystic neoplasms].

Diagnosing Pancreatic Cysts Doctors use computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging(MRI)scanstodiagnosepancreaticcystsanddeterminetheir type. These tests can also identify features of the cysts that suggest an increased risk of cancer.

parenchyma-sparing pancreatectomy for benign pancreatic neoplasms

context the current literature suggests that minimally invasive surgery is associated with faster recovery and less morbidity than open surgery. parenchyma-sparing pancreatectomy is minimally invasive surgery, including enucleation, inferior head pancreatectomy, spleen-preserving distal pancreatectomy, and central pancreatectomy, combined pancreatectomy such as inferior head pancreatectomy plus...

Endoscopic Ultrasound in the Diagnosis of Mucinous Pancreatic Neoplasms

Current Status of EUS and Pancreatic Cystic Neoplasms: From Diagnosis to Treatment Cyst Fluid Markers for Differential Diagnosis of Pancreatic Cystic Neoplasms: Beyond CEA

Despite the remarkable advances in computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging, their ability to differentiate pancreatic cystic lesions and to determine the presence of malignancy still remains uncertain.1 Although endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) provides detailed imaging of the pancreatic cystic lesions, the imaging features alone do not seem sufficient to differentiate benign from maligna...

Cystic pancreatic neoplasms

Cystic pancreatic neoplasms are uncommon, but are being seen more frequently due to the widespread use of crosssectional imaging. In this article, we will address the clinical and imaging features of the more commonly seen neoplasms. Points of differentiation between these neoplasms, the use of cyst fluid analysis and an approach to the incidentally discovered cystic mass will be addressed.
