Gray-scale ultrasonic demonstration of peripancreatic adenopathy
M. J. Schnur, J. C. Hoffman and M. Koenigsberg
The ultrasonic appearance of peripancreatic adenopathy in ten patients is described. The enlarged nodes may appear as well-defined, echo-poor, ovoid or rounded masses in a retropancreatic location, or they may surround and silhouette the region of the pancreatic head and body. The former appearance should be easy to differentiate from primary pancreatic neoplasm, but with a confluent mass of peripancreatic nodes it may be impossible to exclude pancreatic disease. |
